[@krover01]

I own 2 of these 3. A 4.4 V8 LR3 with 280k miles on it. Its my daily driver/light duty offroader. Stock with only 32" AT tires and an interior build out with a fridge, water, dual battery system. I also have a 2001 D2 with 240k miles on it, running 35s 4:11 gears, bumpers, etc.. The D2 has lockers so its my go to for the harder stuff, but still has no problem cruising at 70mph down the highway. 20yrs later and its NEVER left me stranded. Its not perfect, but its definitely not as bad as people think.

[@realguy268]

I also have an lr3 and a disco 2. Love them so much.

[@peterbullen3347]

I have Disco3/LR3 too and recently almost bought a D5, I say almost because I paid deposit but when I test drove it I didn't feel it was worth the extra $$$ over my LR3..

[@peterbullen3347]

I see a camel trophy type event with these three vehicles, perhaps not as extreme, timed stages, fuel stops, challenges along the way to see how all 3 handle them.. example, from my experience sand behaviour is different on D2 and LR3, any sandpits near you?

Just remember, you are always one blown brake light bub away from "why won't my LR3 shift out of first". Carry a Philips screwdriver and spare bulbs. Wouldn't believe it if it didn't happen to me. Also please compare the LR3 side by side to the new Defender you have.

[@300bhpton]

Don't know if you read these comments or not. The Disco 2 looks great, looked a little quick on the downhill. Where you in low range? The electronics should lock the torque converter up in low, so if you select low 1st gear, you should have had lots of engine braking. If you left it in D or where in high range, then you will not get the engine braking.

[@pettynerd1285]

Love the Land Rover content, keep it up!

[@kingof9x]

The blue disco looks amazing

[@tanks4lyfe509]

Hi from the UK. Personally going offroad, i wouldnt take anything except a land rover, theres nothing quite like them, sure theyre not the most reliable things, but you really do appreciate them when you sell them, you realise nothing comes close, and then you regret selling them, because the price goes up on them😂 my dad wishes he could have any if his land rovers back. Sold our 130 tipper in 2021 250k miles later of hard work, he sold it for the same price he bought it. Had it for 22 years. Nothing comes close, landys are fckn workhorses. And yes lots of farmers have them as there work trucks, is it any surprise. Theyre beasts

[@lunamaria1048]

Tommy impresses, as usually! Technology over momentum lol. I am a very happy 3 time Range Rover customer😊

[@davidfuters7152]

I was told by a Landrover instructor at Eastnor Castle ( Landrover off road test ground in the UK ) that terrain response was invented for the Freelander 1 so that the smallest Landrover could still go where the other models could go in 1997 , the Disco 3 wasn’t launched until 2004

[@StephenFogarty2023]

Freelander 1 did NOT have Terrain Response. Freelander 1 did debut HDC in 1997 Disco 3 was the first LR with Terrain Response. A standard Freelander 1 doesn’t have as much ground clearance as a Disco or RR, and this definitely limits its off road capability.

[@andrekunsch4268]

I believe the Freelander to be the first with Hill Decent Control, which many used to compensate for the missing Low Range Gearbox.

[@jonmoak1537]

I'd like to see how the LR3/LR4 train systems work against a something like a 4Runner TRD Off Road or Pro. Being that I've owned LR & Toyota I'm a fan of both. Keep up the LR Vids.

[@edwardpeters4700]

Roman, busy doing his best Clarkson impression... 😆 Case's plans for the Disco 2 should be great. Take the unreliable bits out, chuck in a V8, and enjoy.

Falken Wildpeaks are POS’s. 15k miles on my 22 Tundra and have 5/32” of tread left on the pavement Princess. Toyota says “talk to Falken; nothing wrong with the truck”. Falken says “talk to Toyota, the alignment spec is off and they know it”. Good luck guys. Don’t usually hear “reliable” and “Land Rover” in same sentence lol. Glad to know there are exceptions.

[@Nosaj-dt1ij]

@@Nathans_Margarita_Salt for sure it must be a me problem. Yes. Of course. Cuz this is my first vehicle ever and at 15k miles it MUST be the user who hasn’t modified the vehicle. Thanks for the spelling correction.

[@HKG36Kc]

Love that you guys epitomized the two kinds of off roaders I've seen over 20 yrs: the momentum/throttle crowd vs. the technical/line crowd. Both are correct depending on the situation. PS you guys never air down enough for me on any of your videos and, as you discovered as we did on the LR4: the rock crawl mode is for most any true off road situation. Sand just adds throttle and higher shifts, snow just slows everything down (nanny inexperienced snow driver mode for "developing drivers")

[@Ramcharger85]

Great video guys. Those Land Rovers were in their true environment and true to form, did wonders. Awesome. ❤

[@CarswithNash]

Good stuff guys!👍 My LR3 stays on the road, so it's nice to see what it can do.

[@General_Ethos]

I think it’s funny that none of them aired down before going up either one. That’s like the first thing you do when off-roading.

[@boudewijnwitvers4006]

Airing down is for not sinking in and a larger footprint neither of this is necessary in snow

[@krover01]

​@@boudewijnwitvers4006larger footprint isn't necessary in snow? That's interesting 😅

[@andy_butch]

TC gets the best information from the wheels and adapts quicker with the right tyre pressure, it’s all linked. No need to air-down at all.

[@NativeTexan123]

I wonder if Land Rover asked them to do damage control after they bashed the 2020 Defender into a rock in their original off-road review of it...Either way, I'm SUPER glad they are showing people LR's can be finicky but they don't just explode on you and leave you stranded. They're awesome vehicles.

Nice camera work. IF I were to shop for 1 of these 3 choices, it would be the LR3. With them tires. Not that the others did not do well, but I like the functionality and looks of the LR3. Also liked your vanity plate choice Tommy. 👍 🤣 I cannot put something like that on my 4R TRD. It would be a contradiction to its reputation. lol I have the same tires and it walks up terrain like that just as easily with the terrain management systems. (or it can fly up just like the RR did)

[@jedero8046]

You drive every different brand of vehicles and out of all that knowledge you chose a land rover. I also chose a 2008 Lr3 and I love it. They are the most comfortable and capable vehicle.

[@Land_Raver]

When you know, you know.

[@richfarfugnuven6308]

I have a 2005 Rubicon Wrangler. LR's are not nearly as capable, but they are way better on the street...

[@Land_Raver]

​@@richfarfugnuven6308Which Land Rover do you own?

[@richfarfugnuven6308]

@Land_Raver I had a 95 Defender. My dumbass sold it before the prices went through the roof. It was super capable offroad. My Jeep is an '05. The combination of lockers, 37" tires, and solid axles makes it unstoppable on anything but the most extreme trails. I have done the Rubicon and almost all of the worst trails in Colorado, where I live. Slaughterhouse is great in the winter because the snow usually doesn't get too deep until you get over to the north side. I could use some new chains since I put 37's on it...

[@iceroadtrucker6498]

☝️🤓 When they start

[@georgev5766]

That Range Rover has everything going for it: the looks, the luxury, the power, the off-road reputation. Why can’t they make those things half as reliable as a Toyota?! Damn. I want one so bad.

[@saschafischer5654]

These are the videos I love from you guys!

[@Faithinthedock]

The Discos looked good. The Range Rover was a bit of a 'fudge' though. It basically used momentum for all the uphill stretches. That really didn't prove anything. Stop, do a controlled assent from stationary on the ice and see if it was able to go toe-to-toe with the Discos. The last uphill run it was off to the left then off to the right. Pretty ragged.

[@christiansaywhat4492]

The newer stuff is always going to have better traction control. If it got stuck it would just come down to tire spec anyway..

[@ronaldrrootiii6040]

And the new stuff doesn't have the articulation of the old disco especially if you take the sway bars off

[@NewEraComms]

@@ronaldrrootiii6040I wouldn’t be so sure. The newer stuff actually has long travel air suspension. They’re way more capable off-road than most IFS rigs.

[@selebalotsiu7139]

I agree. With momentum even a Toyota Corolla can go up the slippery steep

[@c1aytonbigsby]

@@NewEraCommsthat’s absolutely not true. The construction alone on the Range Rover hinders it from ever being off-road worthy. The disco 3 was the last true off-roader Land Rover sold in the US.

Owned JLR products since 2006 and have all been good; disco 2, RRS, RR Vogue, Jag F Pace, Disco Sport, Disco 5 and new full fat RR Vogue on its way which I plan to keep and run into the ground over 15 years ( like I did the original Disco 2 which I only sold last year and which was basically the smelly old family dog - loved but neglected- but both my sons ran it and it was regularly used as mobile skip). No worse reliability than Porsche Cayenne or several BMW’s …
