We had a new RRS 2014 to experiment with for the weekend, and a client a couple of weeks later brought one on one of our training days in Perth (WA). Bit of video shows the difference in weight/power between the new RRS and a D4 when dune climbing:



Cheers,

The lower weight really shows, I agree. The new RRS is just starting to grow on me more, still not mad keen on the back but it is starting to make the Disco and the RRS 1 look square and dated now.

Where were you doing the offroading in WA? Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6
Gone - 2009 Buckingham Blue RRS 2.7 TDV6

I'm very impressed Gordon, thanks for sharing! MY10 HSE 3.0 TDV6 : Santorini Black : Ebony Interior w/Anigre wood : Privacy Glass (total) : Sunroof : Sidesteps : Hybrid TV : Detachable Tow Kit : Spare Wheel Cover : 22" Dished Supersports

Gordon i had a go in one at a LR Experience day, i was very impressed with its capabilities even on
standard footwear, then again the MY10's terrain settings are a leap above the MY06+ models.
So assume a combination of improved weight and terrain response is making it an overall great package..
but a very expensive one compared to the previous model..

Lets hope we see BK on one of your off road days in a MY15  Another Pommie Bar Steward down under
