Well, it was not really meant to be a this vs that. My comparisons to the other Rovers was simply for a base that most here can relate to. If you want to wheel the hard stuff, plain and simple, a Freelander is not the truck. Its just not what it was designed and built for.
Can it wheel and can it wheel plenty of fun stuff? Yes, and very well. I have a lot of fun wheeling mine when I wheel it.

Yeah, I'm not bad mouthing Freelanders... I used to have a nice little Rutland Red '02 SE that I loved. I never had the chance to take it off road, and have only been out with a few others on the dealer event I was talking about. Given that one was piloted by two senior citizens and their poodle and the other was owned by the dealership and was being driven by a marketing chick from the dealership (she broke the rear bumper assembly off in a big hole) I just wondered if they had the ass to climb. Aside from that hill (and the big hole) I was suprised at how well two stock Hippos did.
One of them made it through a big mud hole that stuck up a new Range Rover.

A benefit to a Freelander is that they are lightweight
I've been told a Freelander has the same amount of horsepower as a Disco I and something like 1500lbs less. Take one that's been lifted like mine, well, it's got a shorter wheelbase so if you don't count low range, a Freelander does as good if not better than a Disco I. Now I'm sure someone will contest that so go ahead.
