Bowie69 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 My daily is an AWD car, a 5 cylinder Audi with Quattro, I don't think you can really compare it to a Freebie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garrycol Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 You grumpy sod! Freebies are very capable. Having owned a L series Freelander for over 10 years covering 200,000km both onroad and very much offroad I know exactly how capable these things are. My Freelander recovering my RRS Offroading As I indicated - they are not a Truck but an AWD car This is a truck and a AWD one to boot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
