Thread: 2005ish GrandCherokee vs 2007ish Ford Territory

For something that does great on road, handle the rough stuff, and be great for camping and the kids in that age range, a Land Rover Discovery 3 is a fantastic vehicle.

Don't want to be paying someone else to fix it though (which you inevitably will) not to mention buying parts locally.

I thought the land rover specialist near Lynn Mall was meant to be reasonably priced.
