    .............................................................
    It’s time for an almighty tug of war!
    First up we’ve got the best of British, the new Land Rover Defender, going up against the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon! On the face of it, you may think the Jeep Wrangler has the advantage, given its 2-litre turbo petrol can put down 270hp - more than the Defender’s 2-litre turbo, which can only produce 240hp.
    However, that’s just about where the Wrangler’s advantages seem to end, as the Defender can produce 430Nm (compared to the Wrangler’s 400Nm), it’s heavier (weighing 2.4 tonnes compared to the Wrangler’s 2 tonnes) and it’s jam-packed full of off-roading tech!
    However, that’s not all! Once these two have gone head-to-head, the Mercedes G350d will roll up to take on the winner! With a 2.9-litre straight-six diesel which can produce 286hp & 600Nm, this is one Mercedes which can easily take on either of these competitors!
    All we know is - you don’t want to miss this!

    I felt a bit sorry for the Defender. Its tyres weren't ideal for this, but also the tow point being so far over would have put most of the load on that one side of the car, making it slide even more easily. The G was a class act though - diffs, gearing, tyres and mass all doing what they do.

The system wont deliver more power to the wheels than they can take. Regardless of how much you push the pedal. And the newer the car the faster the system will react. And you dont know if the drivers of these cars did anything differently. Of course its going to throw mud when its being pulled backwards. And you can see in the start that he's not just flooring it. Because it doesnt spin to begin with! And you can see the system braking the wheels to a momentary stop even, to regain traction. Doesnt help. The tires on the Jeep has much better rip.

      in these conditions and "test" pretty sure the same as the 4cyl Diesel. This "test" isn't about the engine, the LR lost because the electronics need wheelspin to react. And if the wheelspin occurs, the other car (no matter if the Wrangler or the G) had 4 wheels without wheelspin (3 locks) and thus more connection to the ground with which more force could be applied.

The G is a bit closer to these numbers as there's not much in terms of options anyway no matter the market. So the Range Rover will have had the advantage in weight.

    To y'all not versed in science/physics, it's a function of vehicle weight and tire design. Heavier vehicles with better tires will have an advantage in a tug of war. I am not sure of the mathematics formula (which criteria -- the weight of vehicle or tires -- gets weighted more in the formula), but a tug of war in no way dictates the off-road prowess of a particular vehicle. Off-road prowess is based on #1 tires, #2 4x4 or 4x2, #3 does it have locking diff's, #4 ground clearance, #5 power/gearing.........etc..

      @@martinsvensson6884 they could have tried to get a defender with the 3 litre diesel with the rear locker as well and also they should have put the rope on the middle not on the side which I think Is why the defender was a bit sideways.

      @@beaviccoon470 The rope was on the side on the other cars too. So fair in that regard. I'm not sure want difference you mean the 3 litre diesel would make... its not like the chosen engine didnt manage to spin the wheels already...
      If you saw only 1 rear wheel spinning on the Defender then a rear locker could have made a slight difference. But I think the traction control took care of that good enough. Enough that it wouldnt hade made that much of a difference in this case I think.

      ​@@beaviccoon470 Its because the Jeep has mud tires.. The reason the G350 can pull it is because its heavier. And dont have the G63's wider and differently threaded sport tires that are useless on grass.

      They haven't made a straight 6 Wrangler since 2006. The V8 Rubicon would be the best choice given that it is still cheaper than either of the other vehicles.
      Either way this isn't a test where engine power is all that important. It is all about traction and a vehicle with locking differentials has a huge advantage.
