Land Rover Defender: OLD versus NEW + Toyota Land Cruiser 76 & Hummer H3

[@a3chowdh]

im already on my second Defender of the latest generation. Can’t describe in words how good of a vehicle both on and off road it is.

The old defender got up the rock crawl better than the new. Embarrassing considering Land Rover cancelled the old model. I would guess there won't be many new defenders being collected in 2045.

[@dieselrules7912]

Old defender did the best job, for most of the time not relying on diff locks, and without TC. But my pick, the 76 series anyday.

[@sinaalex7577]

This video shows again, a tyre-pressure (especially on SAND) and the right choice of tires is crucial. Activating the rear lockers is also recommended, BEFORE the obstacle or the trial section, not when you get stuck. I still prefer the old LR or a Toyota, as they don't have too many eletronic gadgets. If some of these gadgets fail, you're a sitting duck with the new LR.

[@peterj5751]

Tyre pressures are everything , especially in sand. It somewhat invalidates this test when you have a range of 16 psi on one vehicle and up to 40 psi on others.

[@FraserWest-um4ue]

Yes 👍 you’re correct the old Land Rover defender 110 is actually better off road than the new one also it’s not as wide as the new one therefore it won’t get stuck and older defender is better from point of view and the electric on the new defender is a problem which doesn’t make it reliable and the old one keeps going and it’s nice looking and the new is over priced

[@benedekbalint6656]

As an owner of a LC78 i can only say that you might have a far more comfortable ride in one of the new 4wds but when it comes to relyability on biggert trips and places far away from people, you probably cant repair the new cars. So i’d stick with a mechanichal one. It really comes down to what you want to do with your car. For daily driving i’d allways pick a more comfy one. All the models did great on the test in my opinion. And I like that the narrator was also mentioning the tyrepressures. It really comes down to that a lot of the time. Hitting any track I allways lower it down to about 1/3 or half of the onroad pressure, it really makes the diference.

[@KhanTigre]

I own a modern LR and this is absolutely true. If you do long trips away from civilization, pick the most mechanical, analog vehicle you can get, add a winch, front and rear lockers and there is nothing you can't pass. But you WILL sacrifice comfort. If you use it for daily driving, occasionally taking it off the road, pick the comfy, cushy, techy ride. It'll handle the off road well, but will need more attention from civilization if something breaks. But you'll never ever have a complaint about comfort.

[@kg0173]

With the low profile tire like the one of new Defender there is not much of a room to play with tire pressures. Lower profile tires gives you more risk of getting flats.

[@ianhamer4494]

Old Defender for me, it is just a versatile vehicle and upgrades can be added to make it as good as the new one, if not better, hard to do this with the new one as so much is built in to it so hard to modify.

[@mariusuhde1708]

Totally agree! So lucky that i bought a 2008 TD4 some years before

[@MrCareer707]

Upgrades to the new Defender are heavily limited, to the old (original) Defender however depends on your imagination as well as your wallet.

[@Bobbystar50]

I agree, with front and rear locker on old defender or 90 they're absolutely unstoppable.

[@Killjoy1230]

I own a 2006 Hummer H3 with Lux & Adventure packages. It's a very capable machine. The baby behemoth has never been stuck because of a short coming of the Hummer’s capability, my own fault was to blame the once and only time I got stuck, because I slipped off a tree stump I was driving over about 6 inches too far right for the tire to keep hold and got high centered a skid plate.

[@G4x4squared-RC]

No one knows what this machine is capable of! Same here, never get stuck instead once in soft deep snow. I never think of the approach and departure angle also.

That's such an interesting SUV with proper hardware ,chassis, and good ride and interior, for the money especially on used cars market. 2) the tiny, more European focused (for dimensions) Suzuki Jimny and maybe Vitara.

Living on a ranch in Arizona, I have old Toyota Landcruisers and older Ford 4x4 trucks. None of this has enough ground clearance and the metal in the body’s is so thin, all the plastic breaks. A defender goes for about 120000 bucks. I see them at country clubs and fancy restaurants, but rarely off road. There’s a reason people who actually use four wheel drives hang on to their older truck’s. Or 1978 Toyota Landcruiser is as tough as a Sherman tank and our 1969 ford is too

On the sand dune, the Land Cruisers mismatched front and rear axle tracks significantly disadvantage it.

[@flashduke4369]

The axle tracks are the same on the 6 cyl 4.2, only the V8 4.5 has a wider front track.

[@rossawood5075]

The 4.5 liter V8 76 and 79 series a supplied in Australia chad their front track widened to accommodate the larger V8 block, they were too cheap to supply a wider rear staying with the standard 6 cylinder axle spacing, most serious off road Australian owners use extended studs and spacers to equalise tracking. The 4.5 diesel V8 can be easily remapped to give serious power/torque and would have pulled hi range through the gate with a competent driver. The Landcruiser is the only serious choice here in outback Australia, although sadly the 76 wagon unlike the V8 troop carriers and pick-ups only gets a single fuel tank compared to two 80 liter tanks in all others. A big thing in remote areas where fuel can be several hundred klms apart. Not sure why the Pathfinder is here, it's a soft reader, the better choice would be a Nissan Patrol V8 IMO.

Moreover even in the context of you challenge... the only metal part left on the ground is for the New Defender... it should be enough to put it as the LAST, indeed in that obstacle has had so many problems that with an old Defender you never dream at all. For sure new Defender is for rich and unexperienced/uncapable drivers to do some short trips next to civilization, to ne able to run to a dealer as some of the tons of components goes wrong, while the old Defender can drive you everywhere you can find some petrol and lubricant!
