I am told that the LR is even older than the drivers driving it! Maybe the old LR is used during peace time for admin stuff. During war time, the better and newer Mercedes jeeps will be taken out to replace them.Can't see the pic very clearly...By the way whats the brand and model of this vehicle? Very Happy

quivalen SG

you mean the mercedes jeep we have currently?

they are much smaller than the LR...i don't think they can exactly replace the LR. e.g. the jeep only sits 2 ppl.

Gordonator SG

saw the news in the papers today. gonna replace the old rovers with SUV.

12qwaszx SG

negative, the jeep can sit ppl at the back.

deathscythe99 SG

Yes. But thought it's usually used as command jeep...? Rolling Eyes

I have serious doubts of the effectiveness of a civilian SUV in times of combat, especially in areas of crew survivability and where the vehicle can go.

the land rover being replaced by some kind of SUV is old news.. i've seen the SUV being tested before. its brand is not a familiar one.. though i think it was a korean brand. (not hyundai)

the jeep can be employed for many roles. command jeeps are usually those with canvas covers and they can have 2 rear passengers also.. the combat jeeps can be used as light strike, scout, atgm.. they can also sit people at the back wat...

According to some guy @ Cars forum, the Ssangyong Rextons will take the trusty LR’s place. What I’m wondering about is whether the LR Defender chassis is still in production.

gonegoose SG

Yes, the LandRover Defender is still in production though it has gone through some improvements. The parts for the newer and older models are interchangeable and therefore makes our older landrovers very much serviceable.

And i highly doubt the durability of the Ssangyong Rexton SUVs in the field as well. I'm guessing SAF just intends to use them for recreational purposes.

i think light strike has their own vehichles called LSV

since SAF is going to replace the land rover, may as well up the speed limit of land rover and minibus to 60km/hr. Twisted Evil
