Living With A $116,000 Land Rover Defender V8!!

[@doggedlydetermined7022]

This 5.0 liter engine is absolutely terrific. Truly a magnificent engine

[@EddieX]

Absolutely agree

[@andrelima5124]

The cold start by itself would sould this car for me lol

[@EddieX]

Imagine it with an exhaust haha.

[@warsteinerRS4]

As an owner of a Jaguar F-Pace SVR, that balance checks the block for me brother...

[@EddieX]

Could be a fun alternative 👀

[@gw8405]

While in dynamic mode knock the shifter left into sport mode......the combination of sport dynamic takes it to another level....a real beast.

[@chrisfarrell1480]

Try the Urban Defender with the Miltek exhaust!!

[@dafidi5202]

Great vid!

[@EddieX]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@OriginalRMG]

I rented this in Iceland, was not a huge fan, just felt clunky, and I WANTED to love it. Wish they would of went old school defender more boxy like the Ineos. Great review though!

[@EddieX]

It’s cool that we have the Ineos, I do like the modern comforts tho. Which powertrain did you have?

[@danb3980]

Great video love it. Couple questions after your experience. 1. You think this is big enough with 2 kids? 2. Would you go with this one or the X dynamic with the 22’s and heads up display? Thanks!!

In case anyone is wondering: The BMW 4.4L twin turbo is absolutely NOT as reliable as Land Rover’s 5.0L supercharged power plant. It’s not even close. Would not own an M5/X5M or any lesser variant with the same motor outside of a warranty, and even then you’re spending 2 months a year in dog turd X1 courtesy cars.

[@Rafael_860]

Why would you say that the M5/X5M engine are trash? If they were trash like you say Land Rover wouldn’t have put that engine on the RRS 🙎🏽‍♂️🙎🏽‍♂️

[@paulm6481]

Put down the pipe dude

[@DrivenHard]

@@Rafael_860 Land Rover didn't really have a choice tbh.

[@DrivenHard]

Its a step down from the 5.0L for sure. They are not the worst engines as they have been proven in the M5 etc for a while now. But ya I dont know anyone who was happy about this choice.

[@paulm6481]

Lease special. Looks great though.

[@paulm6481]

I wonder if the steering wheel with that material will look good in 30,000 miles.

And yet, the Honda Pilot Trail sport is far superior in every way, especially in price and reliability.

[@EddieX]

The detail is impressive

[@paulm6481]

I still think you need a Tahoe High Country.

[@EddieX]

I don’t need a Tahoe lol

I have a miltek exhuast on my defender 110 V8 and it ads to the drama of an already brilliant sounding V8

[@kcw9313]

He works out?

[@paulm6481]

Way too expensive. If you like a vehicle like this, then get an X5 with its six cylinder. Plenty fast and great engine.

[@paulm6481]

Bronco does steer well, not so the Wrangler.
