Problem is, how many will buy that thousand others for its build purpose other than to do mall crawling, neighbourhood strolls et al?

That is not the problem of the manufacturer though
Manufacturer's problem is for the cars to leave the showrooms without coming back due to recall issues.

Do you have that kind of truck/trailer in Nigeria? Did u read the brief spec of that trailer. Even Dangote will find it very hard to afford 2 of such trailer.

So if u give the Land Rover the kind of truck/trailer we have here, it will pull it very easily irrespective of our road.
Learn to appreciate innovations, high tech and every good thing so that one will come ur way.

believe or not I am well aware of innovation, it's just that to make innovation work effectively you need the environment. Not everything that works in an American environment can work in a nigerian environment. Example bad roads in nigeria with pot holes, did you see how smooth that road is?

Truck and SUV manufacturers just love to show off their vehicles towing capacities in unusual ways.
In 2012, a Toyota Tundra hauled the Space Shuttle Endeavour across the Manchester Bridge in Los Angeles.
A few months ago,Porsche set a Guinness record by towing double-decker Airbus A380 42 meters using a Cayenne S Diesel.

Now Land Rover's newest Discovery gets a turn at towing greatness,in this case towing a 121tons Australian road train,which is a semi truck with multiple trailers.

This road train is seven trailers,plus the semi-truck and some ballast.
The total weight of 242,000 pounds is about 31 times the 7,716-pound towing capacity of the diesel Discovery.
Also interesting to note is that the diesel Discovery has a slightly lower maximum towing capacity than the petrol-powered version,which is rated up to 8,201 pounds.

As you can see in the video above,the Land Rover managed to move the huge line of trailers 10 miles and hit a top speed of 27 mph.This stunt was done with the diesel Discovery,which uses a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 making 254 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque.
So Land Rover’s point is that the Discovery are built to do the extremes.

Even with the marketing hype,I can say I’m honestly impressed.
What do you think about the stunt?

Well, the Land Rover was not designed for the conventional towing of such a heavy truck. They were just trying to show the "ruggedity" of the vehicle and its power.

It's Only In Nigeria That 'How Far' Has Nothing To Do With Distance

LMAO! You just made my day with this joke!

The day I towed Benz ML 320 with my little rav4 '02 on the bad road chai

So I can tow it too.

Odé you that think,what have you accomplished

Land Rover in the rover range has always been the work horse. I have seen many land rovers queuing on bad road along with sedans when there was plenty off road space to explore. Just the users anyway, who just buy a luxury LR SUV without wanting to test the capabilities.

While testing the capabilities, and e make 'kpakam', you go understand how pocket unfriendly it is to the owner

I wonder how this will turn out going up the steep grade at ugwu enyeama.
