A couple of years ago my folks spent a few weeks in Ghana, Africa and drove/rode in Land Rovers for much of the time. I'm not sure which models. They were less than impressed with the quality of those vehicles. Primative, hard to repair suspensions, and weak gearboxes were common. I guess one Land Rover truck had to have a new transmission at around 40k km. Granted, unmaintained roads and hacking through the bush are hard on any vehicle, but LR built it's reputation with the "go-anywhere", safari use image. The Toyotas and Nissans (four door pickups, mostly) had a much better reputation for reliability and ease of repair (important when one is in the middle of nowhere).
