New Tug

Agree that it will pull anything but like you said "old fashioned" and some would prefer a thoroughbred rather than a shire.

Totally agree, like the shire horse it works tirelessly for many years in a reassuring  reliable controlled way. Not like your thoroughbred that is highly strung, prone to break down and will most certainly have a much shorter life.

 

Yes, shire horse every time if you are looking for reliability and confidence in your tug. Modern tugs have so many reliability issues, just read of the software issues with Cherokee auto boxes and various oil leaks, Landrover electrical gremlins etc, the Shogun has a proven record of reliability and no I don't own one.

I use a humble little Volvo XC70 AWD fitted with a small D5 auto diesel engine that fits into the Shire class.

Simply speaking, everyone likes their own vehicles and that's because they have never driven all the others. personal preference again.

I've owned a few that I didn't like, it's that experience that has let me to choose and, so far, like my XC70.

Personal preference, yes, but you can’t prefer one over the others until you’ve tried them. 

That’s a very sweeping statement, LL, and one that is both nonsensical and somewhat derogatory.
