Did you get the third row package? Is the towing rating for the diesel pretty good?
I had to get the third row in order to get the Capability Plus Package which adds the locking rear diff and ATPC (All Terrain Progress Control) - sort of an off road cruise control. I played with that at the Overland Expo demo ride last year in a diesel Range Rover Sport and it was pretty cool - not necessary but interesting.
When we were entering my order in the system it wouldn't add the Advanced Towing Package without the seven seat package either. The brochure didn't specify that you needed the seven seat package but it wouldn't add it without it. I figured that the seven seat package will be more valuable in the long run so I just gave in and ordered it that way.
The diesel is rated to tow up to 7716 lbs versus 8201 lbs for the V-6 gasoline model - probably because the diesel weighs around 200 lbs more than the gas model.
I figure that I'll be trading this in on a new Defender in two years when it comes out - hopefully it will be shaped a little more like a box.
One very interesting thing I've noticed is that there is a lot of room between the front of the engine and the back of the radiator - it definitely looks like the Ingenium inline six will fit in the engine compartment My guess is the 2019 models will step away from the Ford V-6 and go to an all Land Rover drive train.
This thing is remarkably quiet - getting 21 mpg in heavy in town traffic (around 400 miles per tank) and it gives a great push in your back when you drop the hammer coming down an on ramp.
And yes it has a big ass...
