Lengthening off-road vehicles can be said to do more harm than good. As the saying goes, "the boat is small and easy to turn around", the shorter the wheelbase, the more flexible the body will be. Being different is also the pursuit of many users. At present, a sheik in the United Arab Emirates has created an extended version? Herdsmen, like the extended version of Toyota LC78 and the old Land Rover Defender, have also been installed as personnel carriers.

The long-axis version of this car is based on Lubinken, a herder. The front part of the car head and the front part of the car side are the same as those of the conventional five-door version of herdsman, only the trunk part from the door to the back is lengthened. (In fact, you can see the color difference between the body extension and the main body in the original picture, and don't pay attention to the chieftain. )

It can be seen that the wheel eyebrows of the ordinary version of the rear wheel have eroded the side rear door to a great extent, while the wheel eyebrows of the extended version hardly occupy the position of the side rear door, which shows that the rear axle of the extended version has moved backwards. However, this design is also in line with the shepherd gladiator, that is, the shepherd's pickup version, and the extended version is similar to the gladiator with a back cover.

For the time being, we think that the long-axis version of Shepherd is a "closed gladiator", but it is by no means as simple as adding a back cover. Referring to Gladiator, this car has a wheelbase of 3480mm, and the interior adopts a layout of three rows and six seats. That is to say, this pickup truck-based model has a back cover and a third row of seats, so this model that used to be uncomfortable for four people has now become uncomfortable for six people. ...

In terms of power, the car is equipped with a 3.6-liter V6 gasoline engine and matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission. On this basis, the car is also equipped with Rock-Trac four-wheel drive system, Tru-Lok differential lock, heavy-duty axle with main reduction ratio of 4. 1, and detachable lateral stabilizer bar. Not to mention the off-road ability, but the axle will be much heavier when it is lengthened.

Shepherd is good at climbing, wading and getting out of trouble, which is one of the main reasons why it is famous all over the world for its short-axle three-door model. The five-door model launched in the later period has already made a compromise in terms of passability, and it is somewhat nondescript to lengthen it on this basis. There is such a car with a flower basket in front. Do you think it looks like a wedding car?
