Discovery TD5 vs Mk3 shogun 3.2 d-id

[Littlec]

Hi looking at buying either a disco td5 facelift or a shogun. I’m wondering which would be best for towing an off road jeep and a horse box occasionally and general road use but still capable of snow conditions. Was wondering which will be most reliable I know the disco are bad for chassis rot so would be sure to check thoroughly. Any problems with the shogun I should be aware of? Wondering what the auto gearboxes are like in both the TD5 and the shoguns or whether to stick with the manual. Tbanks

Having driven Shoguns for work for almost a decade (2005 to 2014) I would go for one of those. They were extremely tough in my experience. We had some with over 300k miles at one time. The engines are tractor-like but seem to run and run. Diffs got noisy at very high mileage but didn't actually seem to fail.

Hi have you ran the autos or manual? What would you look out for upon purchasing

Thanks for the advice forgot to mention I’m wanting to take it camping a few times a year and hopefully do the Belgium GP next year.. maybe find something in overland spec!
