It is the medium load. The major difference I have seen between this and OME (Old Man Emu) is the rigidity. OME will last much longer but that's also because the break in period is 80% of that timeline. So you vibrate to death for 6 years and it's great year 7. TF rides great, right out of the gate, but do not last as long. It's also noteworthy that the two companies rate \"medium\" and \"heavy\" load different. The TF heavy load is basically the OME medium. I have used the OME on one build I did that had a roof rack, wanted a tent and would put a Motorbike rack hitch on the rear receiver.

Before reupholstering the seats to this dark grey, they actually were a light gray with a dark grey piping and a darker pattern cloth runner through the middle of the seats to balance with the darker dash. As you know the Land Rover Series, like many older vehicles used the same body color in the interior with little to know dash or door cards so the exterior color was also the interior color (minus any carpet kit or rubber mats you may use). To me that helps create a visual higher achy of attention inside those vehicles. The seats in that type of painted metal interior (against the body color) are not the \"grounding\" object in that interior and can be lighter or darker since the interior body color is the most grounding aspect. In the Range Rover Classics, though I liked the Marine Blue color on these, the Classics have that large dark Winchester Grey dash and center console that needs to be balanced with the seats to become a single visual unit otherwise it feels disconnected visually and less like a cohesive purposeful interior. If I did light grey seats again, the main thing that would catch your eye would be the dark original dash and then the light seats, without any visual flow. It would have felt disconnected and like an afterthought to me. (This is also why I mixed in the dark fabric runner with light grey in the last seats for this vehicle). This time I chose dark grey but added the waffle pattern for detail in these seats because I felt visually the Marine Blue and the off-white wheels was the main draw to the vehicle and I want the rest of the details to be sophisticated but secondary to the body color and the wheels.", "likes": 1, "timestamp": 1727880829, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 15732717, "authorName": "johnjend", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/johnjend/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "@dblanton great reasoning and good eye for getting the interior to be perfect.
