    Gotta agree...it might suck some in though...the first shot shows the truck on the gravel shoulder...the next shots have it on a bitumen shoulder.

    Given the overall ratio in the truck's first gear is 12.67:1 with 2983nm of torque on tap, with probably 15 litres of Cummins under the bonnet, and there is also one cog under that offering 18.51:1.

    Having driven road trains weighing 115 tonne plus off gravel road side shoulders, as you let out the clutch in the truck you feel the resistance and then even bounce a little as the clutch takes up and the transmission takes the strain.

    As opposed to the Landrover with an overall first gear ratio of 8.25:1 with 600nm torque on tap....sure.

    On a flat surface and on gravel the Landrover would wheel spin and would not budge the truck...on bitumen it would probably do the same...break traction, if not just burn up the tranny.
