Extremely unfair of Ryan to b so impatient with various buttons and features of the vehicle. He is not familiar with the vehicle at all, which is a press vehicle from LR. If he bothered to familiarise himself with how things worked before he drove the vehicle, he would have known how things work. Once u get familiar with the vehicle and use features a couple of times, u then know how it works. The Defender is obviously a brilliant vehicle that has comfort, features, tech, safety, and a great daily driver, that is also hugely capable off road. Obviously u would option the vehicle to suit ur requirements, and fit proper off road tyres to give it heaps more ability off road. Great achievement. Well done LR. 👍👍

I have to admit, Land Rovers Discovery is an awesome off road performer, they did good! BUT... I just can’t get past the poor reliability issue. And an 8,200 pound tow rating is also excellent... if it didn’t VOID your warranty. Land Rover is a love hate relationship, I loved my Range Rover, drove nice, looked great, and very respectable off road... but in less than 2 years it had about 3 tows, 20 repairs including not so minor 2 transmission replacements, 1 transmission repair, a dozen electrical issues, and had the alternator replaced twice, starter once, and several suspension component failures. The kicker was when the transmission failed and the dealership brought out the manual which clearly stated “NOT RECOMMENDED FOR TOWING.” As well as “NOT RECOMMENDED FOR OFF-PAVEMENT USE.” (Both of which I was guilty of.) It took three weeks and my lawyer to convince them they should pay for the transmission replacement. I sold it and never looked back. The worst part is the existing reports of Defender reliability show so many issues... Land Rover has clearly not improved at all.

Also, its a press vehicle, it has the standard 20’ rims with all terrain tyres, if you went for the 19” rims you can go upto 33” off road tyres.. 18’ rims can only go on some of the models due to differing brake caliper sizes. And there is an optional winch which was not fitted to this model,

In the heydays, the tyres were neither broad nor radial(they were tall and stiff), so even though they got buried in sand, they always found the ground beneath the mud, so never got stuck in mud, unless your vehicle ran aground because of its low departure angle or ground clearance. I wonder if you'd have been able to claw your way up, had you just deflated the tyres? Or would that have caused the vehicle to run aground at the belly? Back in the 1980s, while on a duck-shoot, I got stuck in very shallow marshes with an Isuzu Trooper because it had these massive Desert Dueler sand tyres, and it had to be towed out by a tiny Suzuki jeep, just because its tyres were narrow enough to cut through sand and the tyres and the vehicle were high enough for it to not run aground at the belly.

The Land Rover is more of a luxury pretty boy street machine, rather than an off road vehicle. People need to understand that vehicle like these, for even while driving on snow and icy roads, chains are required to help get through the process. The tires on this vehicle, in that mud and water does nothing. But yes I agree, anyone with an common sense help others for the purpose of helping. Never ask for money. Just pass, even if late in the day, eventually a true off roader will help for the sake of helping another. As for the depth and angle that you were driving this vehicle on, having a wench was highly needed and another vehicle or two to help out as you had. Its a fun looking back experience to learn from.

I don't pay much attention to the price or the looks, but I want a vehicle that is capable and reliable and not terribly uncomfortable. Automatic all-wheel-independent traction control and suspension are what really matter. The other thing would the be the angles of departures and arrivals and inclines. It also helps if one can inflate and deflate the tyres, while one's on the move. I don't care much for horsepower, but torque does help with off-road performance. I've generally preferred diesel engines for their torque and fording ability. During the 1980's, I mostly used Land Rovers Defenders(those were the only kind then, although there were Range Rovers), Toyota Land Cruisers, Nissan Patrols and Isuzu Troopers, with the differential locks, but without turbo engines. Do the turbos work well in sandy and dusty conditions or do the filters clog up? Of course, 6X6 vehicles aren't easy to run aground over humps and ridges, but which one of the 4X4 vehicles, in your opinion, are the most capable, reliable, and durable with the least systems that can malfunction, fail, or clog up? I don't care about the number of systems or their complexity, provided they don't fail that is why I would generally favor Mercedes, Land Rover and, perhaps, even Land Cruiser over others. Hummer, of course, is a monster, but too broad for cramped streets. This is a crossover, so it does help to lower the suspension for a lower center of gravity when cornering over the highway.

Not the only review of the new defender that got stuck. Think it's the wheel choice rather than vehicle capability. Nice review though!

Whenever I want to understand the offroad capabilities for a vehicle, i check your reviews. Waiting for you to get hands on the new Lexus 550 because I am looking forward to buying it. Btw, what road did you film the initial offroad (forest road) drive in (right befor the rock trail started)? It lovely and I would like to drive to it

You should've put some rocks behind the tyres and gone in reverse to free the Defender. Great video btw! Cheers

My theory was because the rig had shifted to the right, over a much steeper portion of the ditch, that going out backwards would catch the lip and possibly tear it off. -Ryan

0:41 As Hamster said, the new Defender looks more like a Disco than the new Discos or words to that affect? I agree. Thankfully the new Defender should result in older Defenders depreciating less too? The new Disco looks like the Range Rover Evoque too. Very timid Land Rover design person.

Karleena seems like an ideal travel companion. She seems to, "go with the flow", doesn't complain, and she's not afraid to get dirty. Different strokes..........and all that, but for +$70,000, the only SUV I want either has a Toyota or Lexus badge on it. It's the combination of little annoyances, like not knowing which drive mode you're in, having to remove plastic cladding to access the tow hooks, etc. that just don't make sense to me on a $70,000 "off-road" vehicle.

Yet I know people who have no issues with reliability at all. There may be more incidents overall than some other brands but it's totally over hyped.
