They will go anywhere, so long as everything is working but so many luxury features have been added over the past few decades that the brand has become over complicated and that leads to system failures which domino quickly, especially when they are electrical problems. The main problem I am having is a lack of mechanical specialist in my area to address these system faults when they crop up and that's what led to yesterdays 200 km drive with an electrical gremlin that my local indie mechanic has been trying to resolve for over two months. When the computer loses communication with the ride levelling sensors it goes into limp mode which limits the speed to 50 km/h and drops the air suspension so the vehicle rides very low to the ground on the stops, needless to say it was a pretty stressful trip but it was better than a $1000 flat bed charge to deliver it to Ottawa. I've got my fingers crossed that it gets sorted out soon as I am back to driving my old Pathfinder which is like riding a buckboard by comparison.

@SnowyOwl British cars have been known to be mechanical nightmares forever. Brings to mind this "Mad Men" episode. Poor guy Lane couldn't even kill himself.

@barjoe Lucas Electrics used to supply most of the electrical components in British Autos and earned the nickname 'Prince of Darkness' for their poor reliability rating, that seems to have past for the most part. We have a qualified Land Rover mechanic not far from our home but he is only qualified to work on the older Series models and military vehicles which stuck to the very basic format that made Land Rovers famous as reliable workhorses in the first place. Our Range Rover is fit for a queen or as I like to call her, my wife, but it can be a pain in the ass when things go wrong and many of those things are special functions that my queen doesn't even know exist or how to operate if she did know about them. Heated seats, heated steering wheel and the air suspension which allows her to float along on a cloud with great visibility are what matter to her, the rest is up to me to keep it going.

@SnowyOwl My neighbor owns a 2001 Toyota Land Cruiser he bought 15 years ago with 250K miles (not kilometers) It now has 400K miles and it runs strong. He could sell it for more than he paid for it. I think it's a pretty nice truck, still. I've driven it, but never took it off road. He told me new ones are as expensive as a Range Rover. The only thing he doesn't like about it? Horrible gas hog.

@barjoe The Range gets about 15 litres per 100 kms and it only runs well on premium. I picked it up for $3,500 CAN and expected to put another $10 think into it, so far I am about on the money. Cheap for a vehicle that would cost me $135k new.

@SnowyOwl I don't know what that means. We do mpg. Sounds like 13mpg. Anybody who pay $135K CAD for one of those has more money than they do sense.

@barjoe MPG or KPL, it's all the same if you can still do math in your head. lol People spend more money on worse vehicles but although this is my second Land Rover product, never mind the Jaguars, BMW's, Saabs and Audis over the years, I never buy them new. Their depreciation rate is faster than an anvil in freefall and after a decade you can buy them for peanuts, I only paid $3500 CAN for this one but I knew that I had another $10k coming down the pipe, still pretty cheap for a vehicle that the Queen of England rides in.
