Vehicle

Selection was pretty straight forward.

Get a Land Rover if you want to drive into the desert. Get a Land Cruiser if you want to drive out…

That quote says a lot. No doubt there are many who would argue, and many that are successful with their Defenders, but Toyota really has the edge, from many aspects:

• reliability- proven on all continents, Land Cruisers keep going
• parts availability- a key factor if a CV joint, or water pump fail somewhere in Mauritania
• expertise- bush mechanics know Toyotas
