If this car had been a Range Rover, it would have broken down , and the occupants would be dead.

Did I miss the part where they said/showed it was a Land Cruiser? Odds are it was, but it also could’ve been a Patrol or an Isuzu or something.

I’ve got a friend who’s spent his life running adventure tourism operations in back-blocks 3rd world. His theory of 4x4 buying is:

If you’ll die if your truck breaks, get a Landcruiser: they don’t break. If you’ll die if you get stuck, get a Landrover: they don’t get stuck. If neither of the above applies, get a better job.

Clause  1 clearly applies here.

In this parallel universe does broken somehow not equal stuck?

I would almost always rather take my Range Rover overlanding , but even in North America where you need to work pretty hard to get yourself lost and dead if I’m taking a trip solo(really if my rig’s the only rig whether or not I have passengers ), not on a well traveled route, and remote enough that I’m not confident I could walk to a town hands down I take my Tacoma.

It’s usually easier to fix stuck than to fix broken.

Interesting theory as I’ve broken and stuck both Land Cruisers and Land Rovers. No real difference between the two until such time as they're both unstuck and unbroken.

Since land rover quit building anything other than softroad crossover luxury wagons, there’s not much remaining to debate. LR doesn’t really do off road vehicles anymore. They were already being out sold 30:1 by land cruisers in Africa, so it's no surprise they threw in the towel. The next step up for me is a unimog. Hard to argue with a mog for overland travel other than size and cost.
