[@nicolaefarima2983]

With those tires on the old one, I would have gone full throttle, some wheelspin is actually useful when pulling out of mud or snow, especially with a locking diff. I daily drive a RWD, and the only way to get out of heavy snow is by disabling the ESP and drifting myself out of it

Low range was engaged but the lever was over to the right so the diff lock wasn't engaged. Essentially the Pretender beat the Defender while the Defender was in 1 wheel drive mode. You also have a clutch - use it to advantage to get the load moving the way it is meant to move.

[@PiOfficial]

The old defender is just for show the new ones are work horses.

[@neile36a]

Maybe get someone who knows how to drive would make the difference

[@Jon-zj2nj]

I think the Defender being in second gear, going forward, with the clutch out and STILL getting dragged backwards as soon as the new one engaged some power nullified the driving skill argument. This is a striking result (and I really like the old Defender).

[@davespanksalot8413]

It may sound counterintuitive but because the old one has open mechanical diffs you need to feather the brakes to load resistance onto the free spinning wheel so that the power is more evenly distributed between all the wheels. Or for the price of a couple of wing mirrors on the new one just buy front and rear diff lockers. The new Defender is fantastic out of the box if you’re not experienced, and just speaking personally- I wouldn’t want to be in an accident in the old one, even though I own one ha ha.

Diff lock on the old one wasn't engaged. Traction control is available on the old one. And anti stall is only on first gear low. On grass its always down to tyres and weight. I wish these things were done properly.

[@pc1limited651]

Also note the rope is higher on the new defender. This will have the affect of lifting the weight off the old one and driving the new one down into the ground. I'm not convinced that a 110 with difflock and traction control with those tyres would loose to a new defender when it had road biased. For the record I have a 110 XS Utility.
