Had to visit a patient on a remote farmhouse today. This is a previously un-driven farm track with a good 12" of snow on it. It is 13.5" to the wheel centre. RRS is on 255/55-19 scorpions and they got me within about 20 yards of the farm before it grounded. In off road mode the front wheels were clear of the ground and just turning...! I had to drop it into access to get it into super extended to drive off again.

RRS not good in snow on road tyres...?

It performed superbly, got me to the patient and back out again although I did have to reverse the length of the track as the drifts were too deep to turn around.

It depends on how it's driven. Remember a RRS is just a D3 in drag (with a little lower ground clearance) so if a D3 can do it a RRS should be able to do it. Thumbs Up

Agree with you reversing out as one of the big problems is getting turned when your wheels drop into the wheel tracks. And dropping into access height is a great trick the LRE blokes show you to get extended height. Mr. Green

Marvellous. Thumbs Up

But also note the innate balance of the vehicle. It would be superb for any vehicle never mind a 2.7 tonne 4x4. The back gives just enough drift to be controllable and steps back when the power is off without putting you into a 180. A remarkable feat of drivetrain engineering by LR.

They really are a rather good vehicle...! Wink

DO you know what - that's what was most impressed about - just by feathering the throttle I was able to control very easily the drift and the the angle of it....

I was very impressed and it was a lot of fun at the same time!

Apparently if you put it in sand mode it can be even more fun! 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
