@cageordie12 жыл бұрын
@watannen What you need to look at is the torque curve, Landies tend to have better low down torque but it drops off at higher revs, so if you spin a wheel it loses torque. The G has a higher torque peak, so when it starts spinning it gets worse. In this case the Defender got over in less tries, but I don't claim that's a definitive test. But then there's the cost, a Defender can be had in most cases for the cost of servicing the G (slight exaggeration), well maybe servicing and tires.

@watannen the Def. is bouncy cos it has HUGE lift competition springs on it and a tilt axel set up. alsonote how much easier it got up the hill in the first place. It may not have the most powerful engine, but landrover have done such an amazing job at transfering the power to the wheels, with the low range gearbox engaged it has no trouble gettin up there x

In the Late 1970's when Persia (Iran) was ruled by the Shah he was the main share holder in Mercedes Benz, as there was a revolution in the making the shah wanted a reliable and versatile vehicle that was not only reliable and comfortable but one that could be easily adapted for military use and all the variations needed. Then in 1978 the G wagen was in production built by hand in Austria. You either love them or hate them ! Most people who have 4x4's don't even go off road so shouldn't comme

@ZoracYTManager Engine size/power isn't entirely immaterial, esp on hills. "Power hill" isn't just an American concept. More torque would allow the use of a higher gear (low 2nd/3rd) which would help suppress wheelspin on the ascent. A 500cc engine would have to be geared so low that there'd be "zilch" energy/momentum & traction would be lost pretty much @ the base

Put a good set of off-road tires on a Range Rover and it will go anywhere either of these two can go. The only people that deny that fact are people that don't know Land Rover very well. I have been off-roading with both and can tell you the stock Range Rover is probably actually more capable when compared to a stock Defender mainly due to it's superior traction control system.

We went on the Land Rover day out near Skipton, North Yorks when we got the Freelander, they put me on a slope with both it's passenger side wheels on rollers then they said set off again, after a second or two it figured there was something a miss down one side and put all it's power to the drivers side wheels and simply climbed the rest of the hill, stock Landy with stock tyres

@bastianfrom77 suspension set up here makes no difference, articulation is only beneficial climbing over rocks and elephants footsteps to my eyes, the G classes tires were much more agressive. personally I'd think that tall tires and raised suspension on stuff as steep as that looks like it makes it more dangerous as you're gonna be bouncing about much more. seeing as he G has diff loks all round, it should have wooped the Landy, but I guess it's just much heavier.
