Can-Am Defender 6x6 vs. Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro - Torture Tested On Yak Ranch!

[@leafs.szn34]

Love your guys videos

[@dalejones4322]

Great video. David has become a great addition to the team. I hope he becomes a permanent fixture at TFL. He has so much knowledge and so many resources which translate to great videos.

[@danielsmith4090]

Honestly I think Jeep can expand its horizons. Let's see a single cab 7ft bed Wrangler capable of turning into a flat bed. With diesel and gas options and equipped with a PTO like the old days. Make work trucks great again. Let's see it!

[@abou824]

I'd love to see that too, but I'm not sure if there's a market for it tbh. Somebody prove me wrong but half ton work trucks have pretty much taken over where I live.

[@andyham6094]

@@abou824 yeah I mean it’s prolly interesting to a select few but def not big enough market for that imo but it would be sick

[@malifestro3319]

@@abou824 There would be a huge market for it Internationally. Many trucks outside of the US end up with a flatbed type of conversion. Jeep really ruined its name in Australia by offering a crap engine (because of mpg). I think a diesel would be perfect for them. But still very expensive which is a turn off for many.

[@mcee6906]

So basically take a jeep and throw it away and make it a single cab diesel truck… but with a jeep badge.

I’d buy one tomorrow!

David loves this! Free TFL labor at his ranch! And the chance to play with cool new toys

[@WyLEE08]

I worked in a lab for nearly 30 years. I have no need to haul excessively even when at home, BUT once while I feel the need to do something manly....maybe I can hang out with you guys??? Wait nah I'll watch your vids instead and continue to pipe dream of physical activities. If I ever need to heavy haul I know who to call. Andrea luv your vids TFL!

[@RogerM88]

Tractor brands should invest in a cross hybrid between a truck and an UTV. It would be very handy in farms that need to tow a lot of trailer daily, and more rough than a pick-up.

[@The_Opinion_of_Matt]

This low truck payload shit is getting ridiculous. My 2009 2-door VW GTI has a over 1100 pound payload.

[@downbytheriver501]

Your gti also has a bigger "bed" as well, hahahaha

[@JoseVargas-mn1ek]

I have basically sidelined my Rebel since I got my side by side. A Defender Maxx HD8 XT w camo package. Theres just no need to abuse your expensive truck when you have a side by side. They can just about got anywhere. I use it mainly for hunting but also for work, beach, trail riding. TFL- time to test a Side By side equipped with snow traxx

[@badgerpa9]

Yeah TFL found a Defender that works!!! Sarcasm aside, nice video, always nice to see the farm and David. Nice job on the camera and setting up the scenes. Glad to see Andre doing farm work good for the soul. Stay safe guys.

[@OSUCherokee1]

945lbs of payload? That's not a real truck.

[@andyham6094]

Off road trucks with off road shocks tuned for off roading almost always have poor payload numbers due to the softness of the shocks and other off road components. Even the biggest baddest off road trucks like the raptor and trx have poor payload and tow numbers compared to most others. If someone is concerned about payload and using it as a work truck just get a regular trim truck and not a top off road trim like the tacoma and tundra trd pro, f150 raptor, trx, Colorado zr2, etc

[@OSUCherokee1]

@@andyham6094 That's true, but the Gladiator Rubicon's payload is 1,160lbs, which isn't stellar, but it's a definitely much more reasonable than the Tacoma TRD's 945.

[@stefanfalldorf6573]

The Ford Ranger Wildtrack, the highest spec Ranger in Germany besides the Ranger Raptor, has a payload of 1035kg (2282lbs). All competetors are somehow similar. That is probably almost all around the world except north america.

[@DK-is-Right]

This review was awesome

[@erice9536]

945 lbs of payload, is that about the same as a Prius?

[@pryme2013]

1k is more than 95% of people have ever carried in their full size let along an off road specific mid sizer.

[@peterhoma6385]

TRD pro is a OFF ROAD, purpose truck meaning the suspension is mainly set up for off road 1k pounds is plenty , the raptor isn’t to much better in pay load either

[@obviousgreyman]

I’m impressed, taken with a grain of salt being sponsored by can-am but it still completed the tests you gave it. Not sure it “out worked a truck” though.

[@32plug]

Why can’t I get one? Nobody has the XT and the dealers that I tried to give 1000 to hold one told me they have to wait for the factory to to allocate one for them.who knows

[@imnotusingmyrealname4566]

Suspension is such a huge factor. The Mercedes G-Class pickup has a payload of 4600 lbs for example.

[@OSUCherokee1]

That's to haul the massive egos that ride in them.

[@kristofk1902]

We need a Can-am 6x6 defender vs Range Rover defender video

[@StarGateSG7]

For about three thousands dollars you could turn this vehicle CALIFORNIA STREET LEGAL by adding some removable safe-height bumpers, adding safety doors (i.e. those that meet crash standards) and a roof and then putting in proper running lights and blinkers. That Can-Am can go 60 MPH which means it's highway legal with the mods even in super-green California! So even with the Can-Am luxury-options package putting it at $25,000 USD and adding $3000 worth of mods for street legality, you would get a BETTER JEEP GLADIATOR for $35,000 LESS than the price of a Jeep Gladiator or F-150! That works for me! V

[@DuaneCaldwell]

OK Andre! You and David have proven the ranch-worthiness of the 6x6 Defender. Now are you going to show how much fun it is compared to the Taco? I'd like to see if it is best of both worlds...

Like David said, most side by sides just can't really cut it for doing work on a farm. I am shocked that the Defender 6x6 didn't smoke off its cvt belt in what looked to be less than 4 hrs work...?

[@g7lethal]

always thought the sporty off road versions of trucks were worse for actual work, shouldnt they use a lower spec tacoma?

[@ds24130]

The reason he used the pro was because of that reason. The video is essentially an ad for can-am.

[@doughewitt3362]

I farm/ranch 300 acres. This comparison is silliness. Side by side is handy but pickup is a prerequisite. This seems like a sales documentary for Can-Am. Cannot haul anything down the highway. Limiting the use to off highway is major factor. Unless you have extra money laying 90% of the capabilities are redundant.

[@StarGateSG7]

Not quite true! I know people who have put the proper "Clip-On Bumpers" and Daytime running lights and a few other mods to make the Can-Ams Street Legal even in California! It's about three thousand USD to buy to clip-on/clip-off parts that make almost ANY side-by-side street legal. Bumper height and composition, doors, running lights and backup cameras are the only real issue to get a Can Am Street legal in California which is the hardest state for off-road vehicles to get street legal in!
