Here’s my take. When I was 16 in 1980, my Dad had some cool rides. I regularly drove a ‘66 and a ‘68 LR Series IIA 88, ‘64 LR 109 ( that I now own ) a ‘51 Willys, 260Z, 2002tii, ‘68 Stang coupe, ‘69 Fiat 124 Coupe and others.

The Land Rovers got ALL the love from folks.

100%

The off-road thing took off and a rugged 4x4....that had alllll the comforts of a sports car became desirable. And with that comes tons of service for those truc....er, cars...on a comfy chassis. Something rugged that families of means can now take camping, that has leather and comfort. Bingo.

The LR,RR are now vastly asphalt dwellers. But LL/RR stock is doing quite well.

I agree, the Bronco looks solid. But, dang...that FJ Cruiser gets my attention.
