Less tall gearing to give the impression of speed, but I wouldn't want to tune one, as the IRD units are made of chocolate.
Same turbo IIRC, same rubbish door lock solenoids, viscous coupling and very much like the 75, they tend to look good body wise, but the suspension bits rot for fun.

On saying that even after two years of booting around in my tourer, Mrs Marinabrian wants her Freeloader back on the road.............

I agree with Marinabrian.
Dont !
I had one and they fall to bits around you.
VCU is toffee
IRD is chocolate
rear diff mounts are Caramel
engine mounts must be Milky Way
Prop shaft center bearings are Turkish Delight
MPG is rubbish
speed is rubbish
Acceleration is rubbish

You think a 75 is dear to run.....try a Freeloader !

Lets not even get into when the VCU decides it does not want to play anymore and takes the rear diff and IRD unit out with it !!!!!

If you need a 4x4, think about a Toyota HiLux. I had one and they are awesome !
2.8 Diesel dual cab....
