@@jamiemagdeleyns9152 if you do the same mods to a land rover it will again dumpster it off road. I've done a bit of reading and the old tdi engines are bulletproof. As for the old rover v8, the main reason behind blown head gaskets is overheating, which means that a thermostat opening at lower temperature and a gauge that tells you exactly what temp you have will mean you probably won't have that issue until you do around 100k miles. I've been looking at old discovery models in particular and i rarely find ones with under 200k miles. My discovery is also about to reach that point, and it was sat rotting in a field for 10 years.

The wider tires are an advantage. Larger the contact patch the better. 315s are a few inches wider than the other competitors which are typically 245-275. Also not sure how they went about tire selection. Some vehicles didn’t have the same tire they came with from the factory on top of most of them being street tires. Tire selection and size has more of an effect on outcomes than anything.

Some traction control systems have safeties for mechanical components. Smashing the throttle may disable the system so it doesn’t attempt to shock load the drivetrain if it stops one wheel. Sometimes light steady throttle and some patience makes a big difference.

@@MrMarkwatkinson no my point is Terrain Response is Land Rovers name. Probably copyrighted or trademarked. The Pajero Sport will have something similar but it’s not Terrain Response and doesn’t work the same way LR does. That was what I was saying. So LR doesn’t have it too - only LR has it.

One of the best off-road Video. Germans has more advanced AWD and traction control system at earliest years than the rest considering that BMW 2002 to a 2014 Toyota Prado. But why is Audi not included?

[@RKmndo]

Many 4WDs can be drastically improved offroad by simply adding lockers and/or a winch. Many AWDs don't have the option of adding lockers, and no winchmounts may be available. Lunchbox lockers for something like a Jeep TJ are just a few hundred $$ per axle diff. 4Low also allows more of the engine's torque to get to the axles. The best option seems to be a Selectrac Wrangler Rubicon...AWD for snowy roads, and 4Low w/lockers and articulating solid axles for offroad. These TCS AWDs that are covered in plastic just seem like a bad idea for technical offroading. 'Seems you could easily destroy your brakes, tires, trans, bumpers, etc. I have skids, AT tires, and a winch for my 2016 AWD Crosstrek. I don't expect it to be a decent offroader until rockers and a rear locker are installed. Still, I don't know that my center diff will always clamp well enough to take full advantage of the rear locker, and steel bumpers are needed to avoid crunch damage.

The Yeti driver really floored the acceleration, thing which wasn't done to the cars before it. Another thing I noticed is the heavier the car and without tcs, the more dependent it is of momentum.

[@BenTLador]

Can you try comparing a Subaru with a CVT and one with the old E-5AT or 4AT? The way I see it, Subaru's AWD system heavily relies on wheelspin to figure out where power should be best sent. Based on most offroading tests on the new Subies with the CVT, it's as if the transmission is just intentionally stalling to protect itself. Subarus of old are famous for consistently spinning the wheels in all conditions. In fact, most Subarus who are caught pulling cars and trucks out of bad situations are the old ones with either a manual or the old AT. In short, Subaru's CVT is just crap for offroading...

[@MarsPHLO]

But yet the so called real 4WD with lockable differential Pajero did not do any better than an outback anyway… That may not represent much, but 4wd ?subaru AWD? which better? I cannot see one better than the other one anyway… PS :21 Subaru XV(crosstrek) driver, the 21 model Xmode is more sensitive and responsive, our car park is gravel losses ground with slope in it, after turn on the xmode, even every slightly wheel spinning had triggered the xmode to brake that wheel, even before we notice that wheel has any spinning..

[@BenTLador]

@@MarsPHLO the Pajero only had a center locking differential, meaning that it only locks the power split between the axles and it doesn't have traction control to aid the open diff axles. Subaru's X Mode is basically just advanced traction control which in some scenarios can act as an e-differential. It is in no way a complete alternative to a locking differential. The only limiting factor is the CVT for these modern subies. I have 2 of them ('14 FXT & '20 XV) and both struggle on slippery inclines due to the CVT cutting power. Believe me, I tried disabling VDC with X Mode enabled, the CVT just hates wheelspin.

I really like your kind of comparison, because that are real comparisons, and not just a show of some nice driving SUVs. Actually in real life, I would not start conquering such an obstacle with High Range with street tires or without any traction control. For sake of the test it's fine. It shows, how good or bad these cars are, without any technical help. As soon as we go offroad, I have reduced the tyre pressure and I switch to Low Range. The diff lockers will be activated when neccessary.

Im czech so seeing the stock Yeti perform decently was definitely nice. But also sad, since i used to own a 4th gen Legacy, which was not an offroad vehicle, but it never felt out of its depths in mud or deep snow, these new Subarus feel super neutered.

Would be nice to have a video on "traditional" 4 wheelers: Landcruiser79, Landrovers etc

[@jeremytodd4906]

Anything with a difflock would just drive up there, that's why the modern little SUV's do so well with there traction control systems.

[@dahotrod1533]

@@jeremytodd4906 i want to give my hilux surf a go on that, it's a 3rd gen but it has a rear limited slip differential, centre locking diff and low range. I reckon the rear lsd would make a huge difference. Most of those had open diffs hence why the power went to one front and one rear. The touareg has a fully locking front, rear and centre diff which is why it walked it lol.

That 1991 v6 pajero is a daccar rally winner and its struggling here, a big let down by the driver.

I've been watching your videos for a while your English has improved immensely. What's your secret?

[@martinsv9183]

It amazes me that mechanical diff locks are not more common. Why not place one at the rear also? Because the diagonal problem can very easily occur... In 1986 you could get a Mercedes 190.... with an auto locking rear diff........ 35 years later a car that is partially INTENDED to go off road doesnt even have it......... ??

[@mks1702]

6:25 the skoda driver floored it to get through the obstacles unlike the 4 vehicles prior to it. The drivers of the first 4 vehicles seemed to hold the revs at an intermediate amount instead of giving full power . Wonder what would happen if the skoda driver drove all the vehicles to keep driver skill constant

[@scott8919]

As someone who has a modern vehicle with traction control and an electronic throttle, you can floor the pedal and hold it there and the car will override it as if you're not flooring it. Even with traction control "off" in many vehicles it's still on and cutting in, albeit to a slightly lesser degree. Chances are that situation is happening with the first four vehicles but to the outside it can look like they're not trying. TL;DR: Skoda's "ESP off" most likely backs off a lot more than other systems.

[@mks1702]

@@scott8919 yes I did consider that possibility as well but wasn't sure so I was hoping dias would tell us . It's not great that OEMs do this because flooring it with no esp does sometimes work as was exhibited by skoda especially when the esp in the car is a mediocre one .

[@Away907]

I believe all drivers were flooring their vehicles, but depending on electronics there was different RPM and amount of wheel spin. According to other reviews, VWs are known to do a lot of wheel spin, but do the job.

@@SUVBattle Can you get your hands on a Subaru Forester XT 2014-2017?

[@thebeast9606]

The 2019 Pajero Sport needed better tires, if it had that, it would have breezed through this challenge easier than it did. Also, you should have had a 2003-2006 Gen 3 Pajero/Montero with Super-Select 2. Its traction control system would have easily walked through this.

[@HondaBoy]

Not to mention the rear diff lock

[@NERGYStudios]

Yeah, a proper 2nd gen Pajero could have nailed it. Properly equipped 3rd and facelift 3rd models could have made a very easy job of it.

[@subieonelove2802]

i think new pajero sport really needs a bigger v6 engine and at least 260 hp.
