So I'm conflicted... May sell the VX. Unique opportunity

I dunno man - what's the 0-60 time on something like that? I really think it's around 25 seconds. Diesel IS more expensive than gas unless you use Premium, perhaps. You know it's a personal choice... I think you'll be able to enjoy the positives of owning it while putting up with the negatives just like with the VX. However, if you don't bite the bullet you may not let yourself live it down and you may come to view the VX differently.

P.S. - They get mileage that high because they don't go over 60 or 65mph - 45 going up hills...

Yer right on the money Zeus, going uphill, Ha!, 65mph would be optimistic. We lived in Dallas and it's a solid 11-12-13 hrs to cross the mighty state of Texas, so it didn't matter if we were goin' West starting vaca headed to NM or CO or comin' home, we were always jammin' across Texas on I20. Jammin' and D90/D110 are mutually exclusive!

We apparently got really lucky on the reliability, but it was a major factor in our reason to sell (well, that and I was having a harder & harder time climbing in it) as we were downsizing our life when I left work, so Toyota was it....and had some creature comfort features too! "Reliable" and "living in the boonies" needed to be mutually INclusive for us. Still think the FJ is a bit whacked looking though.

I have been with Land Rover since the first North American Spec. Range Rover rolled off the truck in 1987. My how time flies! We were privileged to sell quite a few of the 1993 US version D110 in San Diego and what a treat that was. The D90 was the "Jeep on Steroids" in 1994-1995 and then the automatic 4.0l version in 1997. There has been many talks of bringing the D90 back but with all the R&D and making in DOT spec.etc.etc.etc.,unfortunately, we will not see one in the showroom soon. It does bump the value of the other D's though. A grey market is even more rare because of all the restrictions to get em here but whatever your final decision is, both the VX and the 90/110 are great choices IMO. Good luck!!

Yer right on the money there too, Kitty!
