#LandRover #Jeep - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Always like waking up to a new video in a Saturday morning!
I like the smell of napalm.
Y'all really need to get the 2 door models of the jeep, defender, and bronco. Take them out on a weekend. And really show us what the best off roaders can do.
Yes
Only problem if you want the 392 in the jeep, you have to get the 4 doors. So you would have to go down to one of the other 4 engine options.
@@wow956 The world may never know! The upcoming Defender V8 vs Wrangler 392 vs hypothetical V8 Bronco would be a dope comparison.
@@stldweller said the soccer mom. 2 doors jeeps are great if you value offroading the most in your vehicle.
Can't wait for the 3 way review between the Wrangler, Defender and Bronco.
3 way🤓
@@liftman3334 ya boy...
5* way 4runner and gladiator
@@mandoesgameing8127 if we bring a gladiator we have to include a canoe. (Same brake over angle)
Bronco??? Lol ..
In all fairness the Land Rover traction control with the open diffs is pretty slick actually.
I'd be more impressed if you took them both to Costco for some real-world testing like a shopping cart slalom so we could see them in their natural habitat...
So cool seeing these comparisons. The Defender never ceases to impress with its "terrain management" system. I wish we could see the 2 door Defender in action now.
To me, I thought the Wrangler was shaking them about more. So wonder if the Defender is more comfortable?
The defender has passed every obstacle thrown at it. In the off road challenge it beat everything else. Still they continue to criticise it and choose something else. I fail to understand the logic.
TFL yank bias is strong, Harry’s Garage is here to balance them out!
Yeah I totally agree. It’s also so much better at everything else it’s not funny. It’s embarrassing that a wrangler can’t tow anything and it’s payload sucks. I just towed 7k lb across the US with my 2021 x-dynamic defender
Agree! For some odd reason the Defender is a vehicle a lot of (jealous?) people love to hate. I honestly don’t get it; Even TFL who claims to be “Honest” keep circulating the “3- bad-defenders-fake-news-story” - they should take a long hard look at their “honesty”!
@@TylerDickey1 well said, exactly!!
My 2023 defender 90 has had zero issues and I really like it. Put KO2’s on it. 12k miles
I can hardly wait to see a Bronco and Defender comparison. Mainly just curious to see the capabilities of the Ford Bronco.
Watch LiteBrite channel they just featured the Bronco on some real rocks in Moab
@@aron6998 The Bronco did very well.
Does it matter? all the broncos I've seen look like crap. I was a huge fan of the bronco growing up my uncle always had a primo bronco , these bronco's look so weird
@@phasechange5053 La beauté est dans l'oeil de celui qui regarde
That would be a closer apples to apples comparison....
I have to say, you guys are making some great videos lately. I was here in 2016 while car shopping and I was annoyed at the over-production of the videos. I'm back, researching for my first overland rig. The production/editing is so much more balanced now. The dad/son dynamic is great. Bringing on Tommy was a great move. And you guys are having more fun than ever. Keep up the good work!
There's a V8 defender coming soon. Would be interesting to see how it compares.
I can’t believe some wranglers are this expensive now. 🤯
I'm over here in the Midwest just wishing I could get a new Suzuki Jimny......
Really good workhorses, fleets use them a lot in my country.
Production quality getting better by the day. Congrats on a million subs guys !!
Defender all day everyday. Looking forward to a Bronco 2 door, Wrangler 2 door, Defender 90 comparison. Love all three. Perfect 3 car garage for me. Who needs a Porsche anyways.
Well I do. Absolutely no defender after all the horror stories.
@@jimmytong2033 lol horror stories?? We aren't talking about Tesla.
@@VWkid4life that too but this video is about land Rover and off-roading.
@@jimmytong2033 I belong to 3 New Defender groups. Most of the problems are over the air updates on the pivo-pro. No mechanical or design issues. A few members already have 40,000 miles on their rigs with zero problems. Looking forward to my new Defender 90.
@@VWkid4life congratulations on your win. Unfortunately many others loss.
Split view of the wrangler and defender over the same obstacle was very nice. Great post production work!
I just towed a 7k lb trailer from Seattle to Atlanta in my 2021 Defender. Couldn’t have done that with the Jeep. And before the paid comments about reliability from Toyota and Jeep trolls it had no issues minus a window rock ding.
🤔 although it's rated for 7000lb, just 10% tongue weight (700lb) ... you must have done the trip solo or you loaded the heaviest items behind the axles.
Erik Lee it’s rated for 8200 lbs actually. The tongue weight limit is a uk thing and is less detrimental than that limit would imply. I towed a 6k lb airstream with my LR3 with way above the tongue limit although somewhat mitigated with a weight distribution hitch w/ no issues. On this trip I also had several hundred pounds of housing stuff in the cabin as I’m moving to Atlanta from Seattle. The other thing is the trailer doesn’t have brakes so all braking was the Defender and it did great with no issues.
Nice comparison guys! I loved Tommy's honest response on the reliability question. LOL That is one of the reasons I watch your videos...you call them like you see them. Keep it up.
I love that you guys don’t sugar coat things. If it sucks you tell us the truth greatly appreciated
As much crap as I give the new defender for being more of a discovery, I still admire the engineering JLR put into that suv. Their traction control system is second to none.
@Pro4x Trdpro I actually had a Tacoma and thought the MTS was garbage and unless on level ground it never wanted to go into low range.
@Pro4x Trdpro some of the MTS functions require you to be in low range.
@Pro4x Trdpro tell that to all the Tacoma owners besides myself on Tacomaworld that have the same issue with engaging low range. Well documented problem.
Great comparison. Great channel. Thanks for your hard work.
The Defenders optional rear locker would take it very close to the level of the Jeep offroad.
Now no matter how much we don't want to admit it, all of us here spend most of our time on road. And it's here where there's just no comparison...
In a few months, we need to see V8 Defender vs V8 Wrangler 😂
If only bronco put the 5.0 coyote in their but the 2.7 twins is cool too
@@cybersyber3602 yeah too bad the Dohc Coyote doesn't fit under the hood of the Bronco but at least the 2.7 can be pretty easily tuned to 500+hp and will probably make more torque tuned than even the supercharged V8 in the Defender
In a few months neither will be running
@@joaquinpaul8205 yeah well the 2022 model warthog is gonna have the 3.5 so they will probably be able to fit the 5.0 in that imagine it super charged and tuned omg that thing would eat the raptor and trx and shit out the 392 wrangualr Idk I'm,my oppinion dodge is the most American muscle cars and trucks as of now but if ford made that it would be the number one pick for me for sure I'm getting the bronco regardless tho with the 2.7 when I'm 80 I'm probably still gonna have it lol
@@wrongwheeldrive9605 hahahaha, hilarious
Great video as always guys! You’re gonna have to get a V8 Defender sometime too!
Nice video - fun, engaging, entertaining and honest. Great work
I just love your work. It’s great fun to see these vehicles, and I’m glad they’re in production, but, for what I need - long distance trips overland, I want the Diesel engine in a Jeep Gladiator.
Both are expensive for sure. I’m an original D90 owner, and of course this new Defender is far from that. I’ve also owned a 17’ Wrangler 4 door. I get what both offer, but in the end, the Jeep will win in multiple ways. Resale, reliability, and finally overall cost to own. Bums me out, because I recently drove a new 90 and really liked it. BUT ... the cost of entry is high, there is no real lease option, and apparently the services run over $1000. That’s a stiff number. Additionally, reliability is a huge concern for me.I’ve watched many videos, talked to owners and folks in the know. It has scared me off LR. The Jeep on the other hand has me interested. I know I’m never spend a grand+ on service. Thx guys, great video !
you have a NAS 90 and you're concerned about resale of the Rover?
Cj’s also had a 401 V8 available. I believe it was in the AMC era. Very rare though. It was also a popular transplant engine from J trucks and Cherokee Chiefs.
My neighbor had a Javelin with a 401 when I was a kid.
Wow impressed with the Defender!!! Interesting the Jeep didn’t quite clear the rocks. Probably would do the Jeep because of the customization vs Defender. Probably more headaches and lack of mods customizing the Defender since it has more technology. Great video TFL!!!
Another fantastic video guys. My favorite channel by far. I actually love both vehicles. I do own the 2020 P400 Defender and it’s absolutely amazing. I have had 4 Land Rovers And this is by far the best . No contest . And no break downs. Minor infotainment issues. I give them pure hell and they take very good care of me. Just my opinion but I prefer the combination of on road and off road performance. I drive many miles to get to my destinations and the comfort of the Defender is just amazing. Then I get to my off road destination and it changes personally completely. If I was primarily an off roader I’d get the Jeep as it is much more customizable . Both great vehicles and again you guys are simply the best on you tube. Cheers
I have a P400 as well after owning three Wranglers. I was surprised by their value pick. The fit and finish of the Defender is leaps and bounds above the Wrangler. Also, I think their 20% is really more like 10%. I'd like to see a video where the Wrangler truly does something the Defender can't.
I think it’s a bit mean to keep calling it your third Defender when ‘the second’ would have been fine if the tow bar technician knew what he was doing...?
Love your videos! long-term follower!
LR defender is impressive. love defender..💚💚 it's modern day off road legendary..
These are both great vehicles; but 70K @2.49 for 60 months is about 1300 a month before insurance and running costs. Which one do i want? the used 2016 4Runner Trail Premium w/KDSS. At some point value has to enter these discussions.
Exactly 1300 $ a month , you could build a pretty nice unit for under 2 years payments with pretty much any older base model as a starting point.
How many people who by the 392 will actually do hard core off roading? The same number of people who will off road the Defender. They are both very capable but how they achieve the results are very different. It's like The Rock v James Bond.
You'd be surprised, people that are paying attention to this, like myself, would actually take it offroading in Moab.
Probably 10% maybe
The best commentary I’ve heard about the 392 is when the guys stated that for the 392 they should have done something to make it stand out a little more. A slight design change. Something raptor or TRXish to where there is no mistaking that this is the top dog wrangler rather than just different badging
You can also say this is the sleeper version.
@@nielsdebakker3283 - Agreed. If I were to shell out the cash, I would be happier with the Wrangler as it is. People are commenting it’s too expensive already. Add alterations and changes to make it stand out and it gets much more expensive!!
Just turn the bitch on and rev it, that's all you need to show you were stupid enough to spend 90k on an 8 cylinder piece of shit
I love the look of the Defender. I really liked the white one they had built, I was really looking forward to seeing that one in action. Glad to see they finally got it right on the third one. But 2 out of 3 rigs to get it right is not good.
5:50-Nice comment about the "Jeep" being the Harley of the off road vehicles. Good analogy. 🙂
Literally was just waiting for the mention of it not being equipped with rear diff locker 😂. 👍
I would get the Wrangler diesel over both of these. I don’t think it’s much heavier than the 392 (I have not researched that yet). It has great power as well, plus is about $15k less!! Fuel economy, towing, range all pluses with the diesel.
Great video though. As much as the Defender did the Razor Rocks. It’s gonna roll over far sooner than the Wrangler, if the video was any indication. Still very capable mind you. I was impressed. The Wrangler did what it always does, just sounded better, hahaha.
Thanks TFL.
Tommy's really gotten better as a presenter and it really showed in this video
You pretty much hit that line identically, nicely compared guys!
Eh, the wrangler was farther right making the tallest rocks directly underneath instead of to the right center but close enough for this comparison!
I think the articulation actually played against the wrangler here. It was much more level, so it could scrape those rocks.
Where as the defender was just pointing vertically upwards, until it eventually got to the top!
Personally I would take the defender any day of the week!
Funny to see that the defender clears the rocks due to less flex.
@Tommy , when you disconnected the sway bars on the wrangler I think you also allowed the chassis to sit lower to the obstacle as an unintended result. If you kept them connected, you would have seen the non-grounded tires lift up sooner, but the chassis would have cleared the obstacle too 🤔
That being said... am I the only one who thinks it's kind of awesome to be able to disconnect sway bars with a button so you don't have to get out on a snowy day and deal with tools etc just to clear an obstacle?
This is not aimed at the Defender, rather a lot of new "technology based" off road vehicles. The reason I have owned a Wrangler for so many years and will continue to own one is because of their old school systems. I go off road for the fun to it, not to have a technology based system help me creep over an obstacle.
I get your point. And Im not being a douche here but asking because I love talking about this stuff. So in a Rubi you manually put it into four wheel drive, either high or low. And that helps you get over stuff. Then you manually lock the rear or front diff and that helps you get over stuff. In my LR4 I have a locking center diff, low range and a locking rear diff. Difference is the center diff locks electronically and automatically instead of manually, and rear diff locks electronically and automatically instead of manually and instead of a locking front diff it has brake control. Low range is still a manual select. Is pushing a button yourself instead of the veh locking the diff or putting it into four wheel drive automatically really that different? I mean we’re all using technology to get us over obstacles or through muck? Anyway, main thing is we’re all out in the mud having fun, no matter how we do it. See you on the trails. 🤙
That’s a great camera
I am impressed with what the Defender did, but the Wrangler made it look so much easier.
Much better suspension and unlike the defender the wrangler actually has suspension travel. Difference us if the electronics fail, and they will, at the worst time, that defender won't do squat offroad. The wrangler on the other hand, would be just fine, especially a Rubicon with the swaybar disconnect and lockers. LR has done a great job making it capable offroad but it took tons of electronics to do it because lets face it, in offroad height it has virtually zero suspension travel. Bounces like a car resting on its bump stops and lifts wheels on the smallest obstacles. It took alot of electronics and programming to compensate for the suspension design. Im a Land Rover guy but im disappointed thay the defender is such a departure from the original. If they'd have at least given it a solid rear axle then it could have been a decent replacement. As good as it is, its not a real replacement for the original. Much like the current Cherokee could never be a replacement for the XJ.
4:20
Most people use them to actually commute, take their kids to work. VERY INTERESTING
I caught that 😂😂😂. Gotta get those kids started on work early so they can help pay for the Jeep! Lol
@@johnmayer8959 LOLOLOL RIGHT!!
Love you guys but have to share some criticism: You can't knock the second LR reliability when the dealer completely botched the winch install. Also curious how many miles the engine had on the first one before taking offroading? I hope break in procedures were followed but nothing was mentioned of this. Otherwise, keep the great vids coming.
With that top installed, you can't fold down the windshield! Also I'd like to have seen the climb of the wrangler with lockers off. That swaybar disconnect might have been enough for the climb.
Yes you can fold down the windshield with that top
You can get a 5” lift from NewDefenderMods now which should allow for 37” tyres on the Defender, or bigger. It cost $10k so not cheap but I can’t wait to see it done.
Any chance of a comparison between a Defender with center and rear diff auto-lockers and a torque vectoring dual-clutch front diff, versus an open diff Defender?
when i mentioned my concern for vehicle reliability to the sales, he said i could buy an extra year of warranty. what an answer.
What were you expecting then?
Have you looked at after market gear to bolt on the defender like skid plates etc . Thanks
You can see in the side by side photo you are on slightly different lines between the two. Front tire of the wrangler goes into a hole. Defender goes over the hole. That’s why the wrangler scraped its skid plates.
it should be interesting guys to see a comparison between the defender and a jl Sahara to see which electronic response to a wheel spin is better: they both have a low range with a similar low transfer case gearing and both open front and rear diff with bld
10:57 “My heart was beating”
How rare….
9:22 I don’t know about that Roman. The tear on your pants say otherwise. Hahaha
"Defender is so much different than a wrangler" ...now it finally work🤣😂😅😆
Great comparison!
All these videos are making me more and more impressed with Defender as one of the best all-around vehicles to commute and off-road in.
I wanted to see the Wrangler’s traction control take on the Razor Rocks. Jeep makes a great traction control system as well.
Great video as always👍
LOL the jeep does not use traction controls. It does it mechanically! the old school tuff and reliable way!
The closest you can get is a hemi in a Grand Cherokee. Those can be had with or without a LSD ...
I own an LR4 modified. Which is basically what the new Defender is. Compare spec sheets and you’ll see what I mean. I have driven many Wranglers, both on and offroad. The Defender will be a better allrounder. Towing, hauling, carrying, comfort snd convenience will all be better than a Wrangler. My LR4 goes anywhere Offroad I would care to take my daily, which is to say all the same places my Jeep buddies go, because their Jeeps are also their dailies. None of us are looking to do massive damage to our rigs. Sometimes it outperforms some of the Wranglers- usually the Sports in low traction situations. But the Wrangler Rubicon is better at the more hardcore offroading and has articulation that can’t be touched by any other vehicle currently on the market and is definitely easier to mod. And they have improved the on road day to say stuff over the years,, so it is definitely usable as a daily, just not as refined as a LR. So it just depends on what you want to do with your rig and where you want the emphasis to be. My LR4 listed at $65K in 2016. I spec a Defender with the rear locker and towing package and all the good offroad stuff but nothing that O didn’t need (like stickers or special wheels) and it came in at $70K on the nose. If you get the 4 cylinder it will come in about $67K. so not too bad for 5 years later.
@@dadventuretv2538 I have a four-cylinder, and it came in at 62k, but that was 2020 pricing. Cold weather package, off-road package, rear locker, terrain response 2, variable cruise control. Heated seats. That's it and it has been fantastic.
@@peopleschamp7258 love to see some vids. Especially if you mod it. I checked out Steve’s lift. So they’re doing a body lift for the Defender. First I’ve seen for LRs, altho it looks like they started with RRs first which is interesting. The stock Defender tires are 32 ins, so going to 35s would give an extra 1.5 ins ground clearance. Johnson Rods has a 1.5 in suspension lift kit for the Defender. i think I would couple the J Austin Fab body lift with the 1.5 in Johnson Rods. Would give a total of 3 extra inches ground clearance. Would be rolling at offroad height all the time. This is basically the height I drive my LR4 and love it- don’t have to use the air sus offroad as much as it clears most things at that height.
Man, Toyota is really going to have to step up the next gen 4Runner TRD Pro to stay competitive in this segment!
I really love the Jeep's and especially the wrangler! But: in my country the cheapest wrangler is approx. 80.000 Eur. that’s the main problem here, but I really like the truck (cause the wrangler is in my opinion not a car). I really love to see what you guys are doing and I really love you’re reviews ;) I've sold Ram Trucks in my Country (Austria) and you've always showed me to look at the cars/trucks and also, you've told me how to think about American vehicles. Some engines and transmissions are told to be reliable here but aren't in the US, so I'm about to find out why. Here, the Wrangler is equipped with the 2.8 CRD engine and the Gladiator with the 3.0 CRD as standard (90.000 euro). so, there must be some difference between our and your usage of the vehicle :) I'm not talking about tax or so :) love your videos :)
Bronco! can't wait. Make sure all 3 are on the obstacles together for a true comparison.
Oh Tommy....WHAT KIMD OF APPLES 🍎 ARE YOU EATING....I just lost it. I was laughing for a bit.
So, after a day of heavy off road, LR owners should head to the nearest garage to get new brake pads and maybe some new brake rotors as well. Overheating the breaks due to its traction control and then going through some nice cold water/ mud sections should provide an interesting result...
I would like to see you guys test the new V8 Defender 90 with 500+ horsepower, that is an awesome truck.
Please test out the 2022 defender V8 Carpathain edition that I believe will be the best defender
what we all want to see... bronco vs wrangler vs defender. the trifecta! (not the sport bronco either... FULL SIZED!)
think its funny how you keep saying how more capable the jeep is offroad...(with bigger and more capable tyres) and then bottom out, nothing on the defender thow. might have been good too mention the defender has a v8 coming aswell. defender all the way, they dont even compare in onroad driveability, wich will be 90% off the time!
Indeed the defender is an off-road vehicle. It will spend most of its time off the road in the repair shop, so technically it is an off-road car right babe?
@@piemar97 you don’t even know what you are talking about
@@romantkachuk168 Says the guy who probably doesn't even own neither of the 2 cars... Have a read here: www.edmunds.com/land-rover/defender/2020/consumer-reviews/?rating=1
@@romantkachuk168 he does know Range Rover is the most unreliable Brand and they sell cars that when the owners go pick them up they already have codes popping up one vehicle the mechanics couldn't figure out why the range would turn on took them 2 days and the alarm would randomly come on 😂 it's bad. Range Rover and this is a honest opinion is the most unreliable brand out of all brands but they drive really good and tbh that's why I think they still sell vehicles
@@dor1tomcswagger69 the fact of the matter remains; The Defender is the most capable of these vehicles as is proven in the factual payload and off road numbers. Furthermore, the Defender WON this test due to superior ground clearance.
Can you take the Baby Bronco up this trail? I would like to see if that off-road version can make it. The video you made showed it might make it up this trail. Thank you TFL.
I wish FCA Australia would bring in the 392... It would save me $40k with the hemi swap in my JL
Still can’t convince me to replace my Tdi Defender with a new one but credit to JLR to engineering a pretty good vehicle. Just one I wouldn’t own out of warranty! (Coming from someone who has owned a D2 and a Puma 130)
Nice comparison! ...but won't the V8 Defender change things a little?
great show guys.
the jeep might get a bit skittery when the Hemi is topping out the speedo?
Had to skip ahead to see if you did a side-by-side cut of the razor rocks section. Bravo
I'm all in this Wrangler. I'll never be able to afford one, but I actually do think it's kind of a good value. Considering this is a loaded up Rubicon, which would probably be 50-55K for even the base V6, considering this has a Hemi swap and some other things make it actually seem like a good value. And they probably won't sell a ton of these, so resale value is going to be ridiculously good as well.
Also, I think the price is basically a non-issue. Yeah, I'm sure there's some people that are going to stretch themselves out to make a monthly payment on this, but I would think that most people looking to buy something like this are pretty well-off and will purchase this just as a toy, or as some sort of tax write-off for their business or CZcams channel.
There is a HUGE difference between your Defender and the one with active locking diffs! You pick the wrong one!
Nope, not much of a difference. We’ve driven both off-road. Have you?
@@TFLcar I own both. And there is a noticeable difference, there is no debate on that. Also you can get the loop kit here. www.powerfuluk.com/land-rover-defender-2020-tow-loop-upgrade-kit-red.html
I had a soft spot for the Defender. But reliability issues made me walk away from it.
It ain’t so much of a good off roader if it sits at the dealer’s, being fixed.
Maybe for the mid-cycle refresh, when they’ll fix every issue? Maybe...
Land Rover has gotten much better in terms of reliability. On my second Disco with no issues, and I take it off-roading. I have an old TJ wrangler which is bullet proof. Overall, Land Rovers get a bad wrap in my opinion in terms of reliability. I used to have an old LR3. Things was a beast.
@@TheGreatOutdoorAdventure If they’re more reliable than people think then why don’t I see any older Land Rovers on the road?
@@embeaston Because... the newer designs with the new engines... are not old yet.
Here in the US, they are rare and a premium. So less to begin with and their target market is the guppy mall crawler.
@@embeaston wdym I see them all the time, I even own own
Still a POS for reliability but a cool vehicle otherwise.
Little bit of left foot braking is pretty much all that’s required for these trails. Defender will spend much of the time in the shop. Can’t wait to see how Czech army does with them.
I enjoyed it a lot. thanks
The Rangler needs to be lifted to be more capable, because if it gets high center it will be stuck, the Defender is more capable as is
This is a very informative review. Thank you.
Are you going to put KO2s or Nitto Ridge Grapplers etc on the LR?
Never doubted the off-road ability but longer term LR will need to improve reliability by a large margin.
Right now I will not feel confident crossing Australian outback with this.
I drive a Defender which I have removed most of the unreliable components with other trusted components and have no issues
Cheers
Have you guys tried the turbo diesel version of the jeep that be an interesting vid VS the v8 and difference in fuel consumption
Jeep Wrangler that costs more than a base Ram TRX. Gotta love it. When I saw the price I figured it had the same 700hp+ engine. They're insane, but I guess some people will buy them.
"As you can see, I fit in the back seats"
...lol, yeah sure, with a nice spreadie of the knees, and no legroom for the second row 🤣😂
Years ago, Fifth Gear did a test of a 4wd Panda vs a Range Rover. Though the latter was obviously more powerful, the little Panda managed to complete the same course (much more gruesome than this little waltz in the woods)
I'm just simply not impressed by all the 'Rovers. I have never seen one even tow anything. Wealthy people will spend on a F150 Platinum or Limited to tow their boat... Heck, they actually do not tow their boat, they dock it 😉
Fun video, the Jeep is a beast!
ya I have a 2020 2Lturbo wrangler and I'm drooling over the v8! a little out of my budget range unfortunately!
Eyyy pops with rip jeans👌😂 love this channel man lol
Nath needs to get a yugo...he will make u guys sweep the rocks ...😀😀
There is now a V8 gas option for the Defender for some reason. I suppose it is specifically aimed at the US market where gas prices are as cheap as anywhere outside of the Middle East [North Africa]
I've seen a few Defenders out and about now and they really do look great. I still lament that it's a unibody and not a full body on frame SUV.
But why? The unibody on it is stronger and stiffer than the frame of all of its competitors
@@whatsongisthis5691 it’s wasted effort. People only regurgitate “facts” they hear online now. The actual efficacy of a platform is not important if you don’t care to grow with the times. Body on frame is antiquated and unnecessary
since I'm not a "serious" off-roader the defender is much more appealing
It’s an infinitely better daily too
I wish Jeep made a Grand Cherokee with a solid rear axle, IFS front, and would give us a real v8, diesel, alternative to the 4R and alternative to the Wrangler that would really perform.
I have a 2011 Jeep two door Rubicon, 3.5 inch lift, just put on a set of Toyo A/T 3 35 inch tires, with 5.38 gears. I know I do not have a good engine in it. That said I love it. Now I like Jeep with a V-8 if the power train is built to handle the V-8. I at one time had a CJ-8 with a V-8 loved it. If the new Jeep with the V-8 has 44 axles, then it may be to week.
The Defender with diff lockers would be a beast.
Yep it is, it does all of that with a center Diff lock, yet the 392 sure got front, center & the rear. Wheel articulation here is simply is to gain traction, yet the Defender eliminates that due to it's traction control system which simply proves a better program in this, but like always TFL, absolute zero regard.
You need to trade your defender 119 (I still can't call it a 110) in for the new V8 3 door (it's not a 90) model! That will be a great comparison with the 2 door Bronco.
"take the kids to work" @4:24 😄
While wrangler is a nice capable machine, great looks, I would rather go to the dentist than spend 3 h on a highway with it. I have the p300 defender base version with some off-road and safety options added on order, and at least in europe it came out cheaper than a 4 door sahara wrangler . I will use it for long road trips and some medium off roading to get to nice camping spots. Something I could never do in a wrangler. When I see someone ina wrangler that I know is a long way from home and must have driven many hours on the higway, all I can think of is the stamina of that driver. If you have a bigger family and have someone in the back seats, you should know that the wrangler is basically a death trap. This is something else to consider and nobody makes this point in defender vs wrangler. Defender is one of the safest cars you can drive right now.
10:50, dat wheel lift tho. Can't fake the funk. ;)
