I had a Range Rover sport before my Invincible, as you say the handling isnt quite the same, but is still fine. And in terms of long distance I find it's perfectly comfortable.Currently use a new type BMW 3 series. It is up for change next year. While I really like the car, it is not the most practical for farming and going up the odd farm track.
I am toying with the idea of moving to a crew cab pick up like the Hilux or Ranger.
While I know it won't be at the same level in terms of handling, a pick up would be much more robust and practical.
My only concern is comfort, would the pick up be a big step back in terms of comfort?
We have two little girls (5 & 9) and we generally go abroad on holidays once a year (France).
Would the pick up be a runner for long journeys like that? (fuel consumption aside).
