I live in the UK but have spent a lot of time in Southern Africa where most people I know who go seriously off road choose a Toyota on the basis of reliability rather than absolute off-road performance. I have owned three Land Rover Discoveries from new over the last thirty years. The first had a major engine problem after three years. The second ran virtually trouble free for almost twenty years and 200,000 miles, but had terrible paint quality/galvanic corrosion that Land Rover would not address under warranty. My current Discovery 4 has only done 16000 miles, but recently had a complete electronic black out. You would not want that to happen in the middle of the Kalahari. My son's 2018 Discovery Sport had a similar "control system fault" at the same time. Despite these issues, the Discovery is great to drive on and off road in the UK and meets my needs for seating capacity, load carrying, towing and comfort better than the Toyota. It will never be too far from support if/when it breaks down. If I was in Southern Africa or other remote areas I would choose a Toyota every time.

Year 5 and 6 put about 4500 into it to keep it running post warranty. 2007 RR Sport. Took about 25K miles in constant visits to fix everything. Then it was pretty good to 140K. All bought new to take advantage of Section 179. My 2012 Range Rover was actually perfect. No issues. Now for my Toyotas. 2000 4Runner Limited bought new. Bought an extended warranty. Worst waste of money cause I never used it. 75K miles and only warranty repair was a broken arm rest. Traded in with original brakes. Bought a used 2000 Land Cruiser in 2004 with 67K. Came with new tires and brakes. Traded in at 150K on same tires and brakes. Nothing broke but the tape deck (which I don't own any tapes). Worst decision to get rid of that car. Someone is probably still driving that car..... Oh yeah. The big Rovers love new brakes and tires every 25K miles. I could write a whole post on all the loaners that would break.Them Rovers sure are pretty though :) while I do see some high mileage ones they seem to require a lot of work, Toyotas do that with little more than fluid changes and normal wear items.

Would have then been able to clear that obstacle. Oh, and while it’s in extended mode you can press the raise suspension button with a foot on the brake and it goes into “hyper extension” mode which adds a ton more clearance.

[@NKPGarage]

The Land Cruiser, all day long. No question about it!

[@wilsoncastleman656]

Just a point of clarification, the difference between HP and PS is not where it's being measured (they are both brake horsepower which is what all manufacturer HP claims are), it's a difference in the technical way horsepower is calculated between metric and imperial measurements, PS being metric horsepower.

[@mrrolandlawrence]

the 2 most important things for serious off roading. 1) have a spotter, 2) winch.

[@frh-freerangehuman]

After watching these kinds of reviews from various channels, I'd like to see a review of what off roaders/reviewers drink on the trail. I've seen coffee, dr pepper and mountain dew, hipster drinks like Starbucks and Im pretty sure some have a can of Busch Light off camera. Kinda funny really. this was a good review.

[@broadsboater8946]

Until you mentioned it I hadn’t thought about the value difference between these two vehicles, The 200 series land cruiser is 14 years old now, with that engine dating back to 1999. It’s kind of amazing they sell for the price they do considering the technology is well known. It’s nice to see the comparison between these but I don’t think the demographics of the two owners overlap anymore, the defender is more aspirational and will sell well in cities.

[@peterouuu]

this has the 5.7 3URFE. The 1998-2007 has the 4.7 2UZFE

[@flight2k5]

You get what you pay for

[@RandomUserX99]

.. and the LR will spend half of its life in shops lol

[@kingmimi4274]

GREAT VIDEO~ THANKS

[@TCinSoCal]

Great video. Thank you.

[@RandomUserX99]

yeah if I'm going long term overlanding I'll get the LC since I do want to make it back to civilization w/o breaking down.

[@anthonydotb]

Who here saw those rocks and thought "those are the razor rocks"?

[@darkpepsi]

I did.

[@Japplesnap]

I'm looking forward to Kyle reviewing the Rivian R1S off-road.

[@aarongerman7857]

The Heritage Edition doesn't have any extra skid plates over the base model. Just has more ground clearance due to no side steps.

[@stithis]

Could've sworn I heard the running board hit on the defender haha 😂😂

[@randomguy_2469]

Not possible Actually there are emergency suspension raise in defender when ever you need it In offroad height its 291mm clearance which is more than lc but when ever you need the car will automatically go upto 334mm! Which is much more than the competition

[@amosleyian7876]

Its the defender for me.Much love for landrover defender

[@realMysta]

So Kyle, the tough question. top trim Defender or base Cross Turismo(assuming you weren't doing any off roading that required the Defender)

[@GutoFontana]

LC tailgate can be open and closed manually so no need to wait it closes or open……I don't think there's additional skid plates on the heritage edition….

[@Big_Black_Dick]

@22:42 all that wheel articulation from that land cruiser is like hardcore porn lol 😂 awesome sight

[@Jackmerius_Tacktheretrix]

And the defender looks like a shopping cart going offroad because it has no suspension travel at all when its at offroad height.

[@letie0717]

We own a 2003 Landcruiser with high miles but it rides so smooth... it’s our beast 😎

[@raekwonfinsrud]

Welcome to Colorado! I'm game to go offroading if you ever do group rides.

[@exilesurvivor1053]

The nice thing about the Cybertruck is that it performs the same at any altitude.

[@aimxdy8680]

thing is, Cybertruck isn’t in production yet.

[@bekabeka71]

Land cruiser is simply the best suv. Here in my country if you own one everybody gets out of your way especially if it’s a black tinted!

[@DrivenHard]

Great video guys. Would have been great if you actually too the Defender on the same lines though, it seemed it went on the easier path for some reason. Wish we had those type of trails up here in BC

[@AdrianKurian]

Yeah

[@darkpepsi]

17:55 I beg to differ: @TFLoffroad couldn’t go up here because they had a Lexus GX460 press vehicle and the approach angle towards the 18:50 mark was not good, especially at the highest setting on the Lexus’ air suspension. So even for beginner, always make sure to travel slowly and always check if you are going to clear an obstacle.

[@dafyddhumphreys8921]

The Landy I think goes into super extended mode for more hight over those rocks.

[@randomguy_2469]

Exactly

[@electrikoptik]

I'll take the one that doesn't breakdown.

[@BoskiM]

Which SUV doesn't break down?

[@jeff1595]

@@BoskiM I haven't seen a single new suv breaking down

[@cncmne7404]

Like Richard Hammond said : That is a very good Discovery , but it is not a Defender.

[@perfev]

Super cool vid, thoroughly enjoyed it! Next time swap drivers too to get the other's impression of each car.

[@loluspololus]

nice video , what is a trail name ? Is this video was recorded recently ?

[@tu78832]

I don't wanna go and die there, so I chose land cruiser for going to and coming from a place.

[@ariscortes3066]

You pay 81k for an LR and out the dealers is worth 30k. The LC 20yrs later is worth 45k

[@jeff1595]

What's the difference?

[@jerryparker4484]

Which is why the last of the old Defenders actually cost more now (10 years old) than they did at the dealer. Plastic Toyota junk? Can’t give them away.

[@kleeenco]

Would love to see either of these vs the Rivian R1T

[@JCO2002]

Cool, but neither of them have as much clearance as my '94 Disco with a 1 1/2" lift, here in Jamaica. Looking to replace it with a used vehicle, and reliability is big concern. Leaning toward a Land Cruiser.

[@garyclark6747]

Good to see new tech compete with Ol school. It may even Wade deeper from the factory. 😏

[@spartanchirho]

At least you guys have more cajones an actually take them on the obstacles and show them at work. TFL chickens out. Will sub.

[@wodanowitz]

TFL are suckers, they were good some years ago, today Roman and his Son Tommy are just Clowns.

[@mikederucki]

Lol that’s the truth. TFL go through a gravel parking lot and call it off-roading

[@Jp-sy1dr]

Even Suzuki Jimmy also do these stuffs , plz do more adventures

[@rogerparis]

That was great!

[@eyalschnider]

land cruiser is a beast you can always trust,land rover very good on you tube but what about reality?

[@jerryparker4484]

Better. It is why special forces around the world (US Army Rangers/SAS/SASR/Carabinieri/GROM) all use Land Rover. Who used Land Cruiser? Islamic Terrorists…..

[@berns00]

Everyone is forgetting the most important feature. the Land Cruiser's center console is a cooler. Also i have a 2004 Land cruiser with proper All terrains and 250k and will make it up all of those features while pulling my camper trailer.

[@arthurd4058]

I have a 2018 discovery It had crossed 100000 miles and still like new And alsoit was actually cheap to maintain

[@jackiewallace6475]

That defender sounds like it’s going to snap at any minute!

[@eugene9852]

I have to say I'm not a fan of the Defender tailgate. It looks nice and retro, but it's just not practical. I'd much prefer the LC split tailgate, even if it's slow to open and close.

[@chanceym6000]

I agree. I own a split tailgate Land Rover (Discovery 3) and the only reason the Defender tailgate is swing out is because of the full size spare wheel

[@randomguy_2469]

Actually that split tailgate was copied from range rover

[@richfarfugnuven6308]

If you want to get into the backcountry, take the Defender. If you want to get home afterwards take the Land Cruiser.

[@gypsyemperor7535]

Landcruiser are for poors

[@ronaldrrootiii6040]

I like how they mention the Toyota Atrac like it's something unique when the Land Rover has extremely aggressive traction control that works just as good or better and has since the late 90s but didn't name it

[@no_name4aday]

What is the oil change cost for both? 13:47 I don't know this
