The Land Rover Series III Is Equipped For Adventure
“You could draw it in three lines, man . . .” That and the tire on the hood, all you need.
it’s not a truck, it is a truck.. no it’ not. what a f-ck’n waste of brain power. Word truck was a spin-off of the word rucksack.. you load it,and it becomes a truck. It’s simple . Keep life simple,have a good time,don’t have to always be correct ..
I clicked on this video because I was trying to get my speakers working and it was ‘just a truck video’ (sorry, a Landy video!)! Well, I got the speakers going and had to watch the video over again! Petrolicious is simply the best! Thanks for bringing another great story to all of us! Love it.
Any chance of getting some music credits?
A legend in its own right, like you, I like to get mine’s dirty too! Much much more! 🙂 Discovery SE7
Its not a truck, its a Landie. As for the silly term SUV, again Landies are not SUVs.
Maybe its a US thing to call it a truck. Regardless of this, yes Landies are fun to drive.
Lovely story and photography. Thanks.
I love Land Rover! Every time I see one of them Series 2 or Series 3 on the road, which is actually pretty rare, I tear a little with excitement. I need something to haul stuff around, surely, so this will be my excuse for getting one of those. Except…they are really pricy these days.
Another great vid. However it is not a truck!
Ian,
It is certainly debatable. The term “SUV” was popularized in the late 80’s early 1990’s. While it would be appropriate to call it a, ‘Ute’ a ‘4×4’ or a ‘4WD’ or ‘Offroad Vehicle’ Petrolicious is a US based site and the nomenclature around ‘Truck’ certainly feels applicable to this ‘rig’.
As I have understood it, Americans call every vehicle with a separate chassis a ‘truck’. But then, they call a bonnet hood, aluminium aluminum etc…. So basically they speak a different language.
Śliczna maszyna Paweł! What a great story, I got hooked on Wranglers on the dunes of Cape Cod.
This so makes me miss my ’62 Series II. My wife has never forgiven me for selling it. We had many adventures in it when my children were small and we lived in a remote part of the world. Simple vehicles that could be repaired on the side of a trail with a minimum of tools and ability.
Great video, Loved the part when he talks about grinning driving the truck around.
This was a very good video from Petrolicious. I really loved the parts when the land rover was tackling the sand and the water. It was nice to see such a vehicle in the terrain it was meant for. Keep them coming!
excellent video. very excited to see the new aerial shots shots you are getting. beautiful.
