[@georgematosian484]

Thanks again for a great video. I tried to change a “sows ear to a silk purse” by putting 18” wheels and Falken Wildpeak tires on my 2008 Land Rover LR2 but the lack of underbody protection made “coming back” uncertain. Every off road adventure required some sort of undercarriage repair, the aftermarket for LR2 off road parts is essentially zero, and custom made skid plates etc were simply too costly. This totally confirming your statements. Perhaps your friends at the Denver Land Rover dealership are offering modifications for the Defender, but in the end I traded mine in on a Wrangler Rubicon and I’m quite pleased. However the Defender drives beautifully to your off road trail, and if I could custom order one with the wheels and protections available on other serious off road vehicles I likely would. Come on Land Rover, make at least one model that isn’t a mall crawling status symbol !

@@rono33 As far as i can recall , i think their 2nd vehicle was damaged by a local dealer fitting a winch and TFL wanted another replacement due to limited spec availability at the time because of the pandemic which caused extended delays for every vehicle maker including waiting months for parts on a brand new vehicle ( most manufacturers have initial problems with new models ). Of course Land Rover need to improve reliability , the newest models have yet to be proven long term but at the same time most of these reliability surveys count a glitchy screen as if its the same as being stranded with engine failure.

I think almost everyone knows that the technological magic that Land Rover does with their 4x4s is incredible, they are amazing at maintaining traction and like I said, they seem almost magical. This doesn't invalidate the reliability comments though. There's more to a vehicle than performance in one system, it is an overall package and Land Rover does well when it comes to comfort and traction but not so well in other aspects.

[@omardevonlittle3817]

In the Rover, curious what the "low traction launch" does electronically and if mechanically. The thing that comes to comes to mind in the GX that I can see doing the same that wasn't mentioned is the 2nd Start, its for low traction surface as well.

Nice to see that a Range Rover performs well "in a controlled environment." That must be what it was designed for because mine is useless and scary in any snow, ice or other inclimate weather.

[@DBravo29er]

I've got a 17 GX460 premium. Driven in snow and ice a good amount. The 4WD system tolerates *enough* wheel spin that you don't absolutely COOK your brakes. The Landrover is VERY hard on its brakes with that little spin-tolerance per wheel. Looks good on rollers; not nearly as good in the real world.

[@DBravo29er]

I'll add that despite being driven over the continental divide a few times, once in diving snow (while towing a 4500lb trailer) I just replaced the rear brake pads at 121k miles. Had just started on the squeal tabs. Rotors got resurfaced. Front pads and rotors got replaced at 101k. Zero chance a LR replicating that with the same amount of light trail work and fairly extensive snow use.

[@buckdashe2571]

As a former high-end car mechanic, I can tell you our shop was visited far more often by RR and LR than any GX460. But (of course it’s subjective) I think that nose on the Lexus is butt-ugly.

[@shaunbava1801]

@@DBravo29er Land Rover brakes barely make it 30k miles city driving. 100k miles would be unheard of even with the best brakes and rotors, what Rover puts on at the factory is junk. The Lexus is the far more practical vehicle but in reality it does not compete with the Rover which is much more luxurious. I went and almost pulled the trigger on a GX460 after returning my Range Rover, the GX460 is a wonderful vehicle don't get me wrong but it isn't as luxurious/sleek/fancy/etc as a mid 2000's L322 let alone the current generation of Land Rovers. The Land Rover 4x4 system is insane you can drive it through a snow storm in hell without the locking diff, the Toyota systems is very good but not quite as good. Annual maintenance on a Land Rover product is like 2-3K per year! Pretty much on a 3 year lease you can expect to do at least 3 services and brakes it will be 5k without breaking a sweat. Oh and forget about those 22's, the new tires will be another 2k.

I regularly passed Disco's & Range Rovers on I-90 at the Snoqualmie Pass in near-blizzard conditions. I wouldn't say that it outclassed the Land Rovers, but it was consistently better.

Land Rovers have awesome 4WD systems but my personal experience was that I couldn't chase my own FJ with the unexperienced LR Disco4 owner behind the wheel after we swapped vehicles on a rugged mountain trail. The Disco just can't take that beating of the trail bumps, which the Toyota absorbed way easily. The air suspension doesn't allow you to lift to the maximum and drive faster and you still have the lower control arms scraping the ground. Finally, the Disco passed everywhere where the FJ went, but waayyy too slowly and carefully. The LR's V8 sounds and pulls good though!

[@Arkeo36]

Lexus - a vehicle you can drive hard for hundreds of thousands of miles, and then your grandchildren inherit it. Land Rover - a vehicle you drive easily for several hundred miles, and then your grandchildren are still going to be paying the euro specialist mechanic's grandkids for the tab you ran up. All kidding aside, the biggest flaw I can see of the GX for offroading are not the long overhangs messing up approach and departure vs a "true" Prado, but the sub-par efficiency-to-perfomance ratio of the engine. I could imagine quite a few adventurous types have simply run out of fuel before they got where they were going. The Prado's 2.8 turbodiesel gets something like mid 20s mpg, right?

I’ve just taken delivery of a new generation Ranger in the UK and it is on 20” wheels. It was a dealer stock order and all their unsold stock orders for months ahead were ordered with the 20” wheels, because “kids love them” according to the sales manager who configured the orders. But what does he know, because he omitted to order them with the wireless charging, inverter and auxiliary switched with USB by the interior mirror, which cost peanuts extra. Also omitted the surround cameras. It does have excellent adaptive cruise control with steering assist, rear diff lock and full time 4wd [4A] drive mode though. I may well buy some take-off spare 18” wheels and tires for Winter use and change the standard tires for something more off-roadish.

I totally agree with your sentiment that LR goes through all that work of engineering the 4WD system, only to hamstring it with low hanging plastics and huge wheels. Give us legit off-road bumpers and wheels! However, LR needs to also go where the money is. They need to know their customer base. The majority of LR customers want the big wheels and ground effects, and I would say that the vast majority will never make it off road. Even though the Lexus 4WD system appeared to be bested by the LR system, I'd still take the Lexus. Almost half the price, plus much, much better reliability (not to mention resale value). I know Ford used to have a stake in LR, but do they still have any tie ins? Notice the off-road mode icons on the RR appear to be shared with Ford. Plus, I think the two organizations have some similar styling cues. Just my observation. I would also like to see these two vehicles put to the test at an off-road park such as Ironclads (provided the low hanging plastics don't get in the way). Tumbleweed (OnX Off-road course) is great but it's so muddy that I don't know if those road oriented tires would stand a chance in the mud (well maybe the winter tires on the RR would do well).

Just a few items: needed a new rear differential, both front headlamp assemblies had to be replaced, all sorts of software patches, a driver's seat motor, the rear AC vents will often blow piping hot air even when set to Lo (which the dealer can't fix) and the rear started rocking/swaying side to side under braking and when making left turns at highway speeds (dealer also can't fix).

Short-term tests are easy to prove. Have two owners who have the same amount of miles over a period of 5-7 years, and then ask for feedback. That's when you'll get an honest answer.

[@Jantonvid]

If you rich you get both! That way while the range is in the shop you can actually enjoy a capable vehicle

[@bradcolby3624]

Had 2015 GX 460. Could go anywhere without a single problem. I think a new model is coming soon..

[@SlickFootTito]

Is that Range Rover on winter tires?

[@albertodiazpr]

Hi Tommy! I want to give you a new series idea! Your personal Wrangler Sport S vs different new available SUVs. Should be nice to see the very basic more capable off roader in the word vs the other maybe more expensive SUVs. You can call the series, "Wrangler vs the World" or something like that. Keep up the great work 👍

[@richfarfugnuven6308]

He sold it...

[@doxydoxdelamanca9902]

What do you reckon that dashboard will cost when it breaks or malfunctions? I say $5k. But I'd say, what an amazing 4wd system to crawl those scary sidewalks when going to the mall.

[@PhillyDee215]

Is it worth a Cadillac CTS-V3 trade in?

[@moloono1]

We all know who the true winner is, no matter what this test says.

[@brentonhood]

What's crazy is that Mud/Ruts allows some slippage on purpose. You'd have to choose another mode to limit the wheel slip more.

[@DrivenHard]

It does that to clear the tires to get fresh tread into the mud/ground.

[@brentonhood]

@@DrivenHard the goat himself showing up what's up man

[@DrivenHard]

@@brentonhood hahaha bro careful my ego can't take that. Im doing well man, hope you are too!

[@zachwaguespack2661]

please do a explorer plt

[@bngtr5607]

Would you test Acura Mdx awd.

[@BTDrgonzo]

One of your favorite engines? Is that because you went through three in the model TFL bought 😅

[@chuanyong5442]

LR allocates more funds on looks and tech at the expense of reliability and toyota does opposite. Depends on what each sees as importance.

[@stevenf927]

Oh this was hilarious. Most of these luxury SUVs are operated as 99% on the street. 1% offroad. And even in the worst comparison (for the GX) the GX still got through. So the GX took a couple of seconds to figure out how to get unstuck. Compared to the weeks or months the RR spends at the dealership getting fixed...... And the hit on the resale value......

[@Seventh7Art]

Traction is not the only thing that matters in off-road driving. Ground clearance is vital and these vehicles don't have a lot of it...

[@Shadownian]

Doesnt matter how good a system is if it breaks down all the time. Id take a competent system that works when you need it over a better system that im never sure if it will leave me stranded or not. Also your comparing a new Range Rover vs a Lexus with an around 15 year old system. Not to mention... Range Rover starts at: 107,400 Lexus Gx starts at 59,275

[@arkhsm]

One's luxury, ones pretend luxury, that's the price difference !!

[@Shadownian]

@@arkhsm Yeah RR should stop pretending.

[@quinty26]

The difference is, both go off-road, but the Toyota will tow the RR out.😏

[@Bradmopar]

The biggest thing is Land Rover will Never make a more off road version because it won’t sell to the people who buy them. If you want an off road land rover get and Enos Grenadier. You all should consider getting a range rover to long term test and see how often it’s at the dealer. Thanks for the content.

[@ronaldrrootiii6040]

Im still Rocking A Diaco 2 on 33s. Goes anywhere. Yeah it has its issues every now and then but nothing major. Overall it's pretty reliable and I trust it long distances. Can't beat that for $5,000 and working out some Kinks. Now the people who get an old disco and just drive the crap out of it never greasing checking changing to inline thermostat doing coil pack relocation cleaning checking again LOL all that then yeah it's a lot worse but otherwise $5,000 to pretty much do almost anything especially what nothing from the year 2000 besides the Disco on 33s can do with the exact same mods it's totally worth it. Doing a bed liner body spray in a few weeks. Just Center diff lock and traction control looking to do a rear Locker in fall

[@CarnutMM]

If this vehicle had 17” wheels, along with good approach, breakover and departure angles, it would be a force to reckon with. But it isn’t so unless you spend a lot of money on it, it will not go too far before getting hung up or stopped dead in its track on a trail.

[@brianm5753]

Lexus's system seems to apply some delay before intervening probably to let the driver actually drive before the robots come in to help

[@DBravo29er]

Also saves the brakes. That Landrover is gonna fry those brakes in a HURRY.

[@jeffreyjones3616]

Nice cope 😂

[@aveenmahabal]

Rock crawl mode should have been used on the roller. More controlled. Mud and ruts intentionally spins the other wheels, so it’s less smooth.

[@greentruth89]

Can we see how the jeep wk2 compare to the rang rover

[@jaydenp.6243]

Can't wait for the new redesigned Gx (2024). Should be more modern. Definitely a newer design language. Newer tech. Plus the Lexus reliability and low maintenance cost. Should, hopefully, be able to better fight against these type of plush SUVs like the Range Rover.

[@cbizkit36]

Isnt the GX the 4runner and the LX the Land Cruiser?🤔

[@dashwithhash6106]

Wow that Lexus has so much wheel travel, impressive

[@kendelion]

Too bad non of these vehicles will ever experience "off-roading"

[@alvago86]

You need to try the Toyota Version of that Lexus, the LC Prado with the diesel engine and better angles...
