Finally someone who uses their Land Rover for what it was made for!
MightyJosh1985 no, being better than any other truck or car in offroad 😉
lol.... Well stock they're pretty capable against audis and similar but put it against a Toyota Tacoma or Nissan xterra/frontier stock, or better yet with a proper suspension in it- something you can't do to these newer model Land Rovers, and you'll quickly find that this is far from 'better than any other' in fact you won't be able to do half the stuff these do, and they're still IFS and have a comfy ride. And if you want airbag suspension (god only knows why you'd want to lose that much roadfeedback while offroading but each to their own) you can always install one in a Toyota, Nissan, Jeep, etc.
The problem with Land Rovers like this is they aren't modifiable, you can't put large tires on them due to their tire clearance issues, so good M/Ts aren't going on there. Notice how he didn't take the range rover through the mud puddle that the stock jeep got stuck in? Approach angles are also bad.
It's a great car though for minor to moderate dirt roads in national forests when you're not planning on really getting onto the harder trails (where a nice steel plate bumper to help push crap out of the way comes in handy, and so does not worrying as much about the paint). It will get you places but it is far from the ultimate offroading experience.
the new rover fuck no, jeeps kills
MightyJosh1985 mechanic?
Jamie S - how does that make the tire larger though?
Dont understand why so many people in off road vehicles smash trough big mudholes with their roof and windows open...
I always wonder the same thing. It seems dumb to me.
cuz they're kids playin' in the dirt!
Well the jeeps can be interior cleaned even if electronics are there thats the reason why jeeps have plugs under the floor :)
Its a jeep thing you wont understand 😂😂😂
cheeriosspagetty leave nice one ;)
kinda remind me of the Top Gear Bolivia special when both May and Hammond suffered because their car rides so rough and there's Clarkson sitting in his Range Rover relaxed while listening to Will Young.
ikr, XD
+Riswan Ahmad P The sad truth behind backyard engineers hyping up their 4x4's without any knowledge of automotive engineering, where the guys driving stock vehicles are almost just as capable given the correct driving style, and not spending a cent.

+Igor K no doubt the ROver is an icon in itself, its just the way people use them. Usually with such price tag they end up as mall crawlers, but very capable. The wrangler is a totally different banana, you can peel it and dress it up to your liking. There is no point, unless you make a scientific study, which one is most capable over-all, It's a matter of taste, lifestyle and economics. Terrain also matters. Offroad is a general term. The jeepers will get in your face and tell you try to crawl your ROver in Rocks. The Rovers heritage is in OVERLANDING. because it has the size, room, and the capability to perform such task. The jeep as it stands, is pretty much a toy for most, although its starting to expand its exposure to overlanding.
I think we all get it, you can still have fun in a rover with the creature comforts as mentioned. Jeepers, like theirs open, top down, so? no point comparing. Unless you own both and do what they are for, i suppose you will not spend so much time comparing them but rather, enjoying them.
+ipullstuffapart If you are referring to the engineers that try to make the wranglers survive huge rocks, and the Crazy lifestyles that go with it, then, whatever helps the NOOB jeeper helps. The jeep lifestyle will lure you to do all those crazy offroading. But you are right, it is mostly a hype, but it feeds on a lifestyle not everybody can afford.
+Alan Zapanta XJ's are the best, luxury, comfort and an INCREDIBLY capable vehicle.
range rovers are awesome off-roaders they just need proper tyres
Definitely, they come with all season tires to have good street performance in different weathers, but don't have a very aggressive tread to optimize offroading so there's some compromise.
Wdym? Its literally a unreliable car if you want to go offroad just use a g class or a wrangler
@@rayton-fissoremagnum3060 which are both somewhat unreliable
@@akariakaza2642 atleast its not as unreliable as a range rover
@@rayton-fissoremagnum3060 that is a true statement
Flipping a switch to lock the diffs was too hard? good video though
Or them turning the traction control on
Hey, it's a Range Rover, so probably some electric malfunction prevented that from happening... :'P #justRRthings :D
tbf its his daily so wouldnt want to try too hard on the car
He obviously tried it but his piece of crap Range Rover couldn’t make it up. He’s not gonna bash on his own Rover
L322 Range Rover had to be equipped with the Heavy Duty package to get the auto locking rear differential
My friend convinced a girl with the same model RR to come wheeling with us not too long ago. She beat the fuck out of this thing through some pretty big mud holes and violent hill climbs with rocks, tree roots, and holes throughout them. Definitely drove harder than this video and I gave that truck so many props for holding up to what has broken tons of Jeeps and full size trucks here.
The Jeep makes everything look like it's so difficult then Doug just strolls a long barely making any splash like it's nothing.
Something called diff lock ever heard of it?
Pretty useful off roading apparently.
Not sure what it does though
STEVIE G4M1NG & Vlogs distributes the torque 50/50
4wd some other way round, open diff = equal torque, variable wheel speed. Locked diff =equal wheel speed, variable torque
TheTomco11 I'm putting it simply that a locked differential gives equal power/equal revolutions of the wheels
TheTomco11 and technically not because an open different sends more power to the spinning wheel
Lol first proper challenge for the range rover and this guy turns back
sonofkikkoman yeah, it literally just needed some gas, they always do when the traction control system is trying to figure what is slipping.
+Ian Mcdowell Worth just turning the TC off?
+Richard Harrold No the traction control is what makes the range rover work offroad, since it replaces the locking diff systems. It is extremely capable, but it acts as a feedback, so you have to get the wheels to spin to get the computer to figure out what it needs to lock to regain traction. Most of these systems take some revving, a lot of the time you can get it to trigger early by feathering the brake a bit.
Ian Mcdowell It's got electronic locking diffs too.
I thought the 2006 had a torsen center diff and everything offroad was etc managed?
Except the SC version which had a locking rear diff I think.
"thats where things got a little more challenging!"....puddles....there just puddles.
+Igor K you mad bruh?
That Range Rover was probably the dirtiest I've seen
Did you expect a bomb crate, spikey woods, 60 degree incline?
they're
Sacatolas Moreira Really bruh. Your profile pic made me think there was a strand of hair on my screen.
love how the jeep has to speed through everything and the land rover goes through it just nice and slowly.
wonder what tires he was running on his range rover
TheMainMan318 As slow as possible, as fast as necessary.
TheMainMan318 Range Rover has to go slow. It doesn't have solid axles.
+BeanerMan3k There is a threshold though, where going too fast loses traction. The Jeep driver in this video is clearly blasting it because he thinks he is being cool, not because he is a good driver.
Whenever they pass a small puddle the jeep floors it, making all kind of noise and getting mud everywhere like a 16 year old boy. The Range rover could have made it through the last obstacle with more power, but that isn't the proper way. Gunning it through a ditch like that is only going to end up damaging your vehicle. He is simply inexperience and picked a really bad line. He could have easily picked a different line and gotten through easily.
and possibly damaged his vehicle. The proper way through that obstacle is a different line. Maybe he would have got through it by slamming into the hole with enough momentum to pop out, but this isn't the proper method, will end up damaging the vehicle, and will not working it more difficult situations. Are harder obstacles this jeep drivers methods will just create a loss in traction that will get him stuck.
As fast as necessary, as slow as possible, is a motto of many good off road drivers for a good reason.
Driving on a Dirt path = "off-roading"... Hmmm
Kevin Sauvageau isn't it? Its no longer a paved road...
It’s off the road loo
The cruiser is a proper rig, the jeep was driven by a typical jeep owner and the range rover seemed surprisingly well kept along the trail
The cruiser is proper shit*, it went home first
Music from castle crashes anyone???
lol yes, i havent played that game in forever
i was gonna say
okay so now do that in your ferrari
He sold it years ago
"Occasionally Offroading" ahaha. Good stuff!
Guy in the JEEP prolly never went off-roading or just making a fool of himself judging by the way he drives
Anthony Ajodha I think his Jeep was open diffed
Everyones on a different level, different stages of offroad level experience
Shihhhhhhhh you suck
Let people have there fun schmuck
Leather seats, A/C, music, & cookies... the only way to wheel!
Awesome off roading , not sure if they were red or black trails but I'd be passenger anyday
That's the only way I wheel.
I have a 2005 Range Rover, so far I've replaced the front air struts, OEM LR for $850 shipped, complete cooling system with all OEM and Behr radiator$800, transmission flush with Amsoil ATF$225, timing chain guides and gaskets $500, I did all the work myself. My RR has never broke down or gave me a problem, never, but I'm the type of person that replaces everything before it breaks, anyone could have one of these, I paid $11k with 105k miles on it, these super reliable if you maintain them and fix them before they break down.
+Martin “MartinLoccz” P you paid over 10k for a vehicle with over 100k miles????????!!!!!!!! whaaaaa...........
Yes a lot of peoples think "its a SUV so its indestructible" so they dont maintain it. But you have to maintain it more than other car because its a very complex car (air suspension.....). And after something break down these peoples say Range Rovers are unreliable shitty SUVs.
@@CiaranScottGarsun They are shitty because so much stuff breaks.
That's why you can buy a Range Rover that sold new for over $60K for under $10K.
The owner of this channel explains how he got over $15K in repairs paid for by Carmax.
No one can defend the Range Rovers.
The defense is not "If you just replace everything before it breaks nothing will break".
Instead think "A quality vehicle breaks less and costs less money and TIME to maintain".
Lol reliable and Range Rover should never be used in the same sentence. Sorry buddy, you're full of shit
Hi Doug , I have the same range and I use it off-roading for many years . the point you stop and turn back is very easy to go on ,
(low,first or second gear) and just step on it , the range can do much more !
0:48 urban off roading...heck yeah!
Right before you started eating that cookie I said to myself "watch him grab a cheeseburger or some shit" lol
lmao
nothing like a good vintage doug video☺️
Very entertaining! Laughed out loud several times. Good stuff!
Absolutely nobody:
Doug demuro: 3:10 😂😂
The toyota would be fine if you took the hood off.
Or do what Jeremy Clarkson did to his Range Rover.....
that's the first thing I thought of XD
thats what i thought too
my first thought exactly lol and I'm a jeeper
Auxiliary electric fans do wonders on slow off road trails
2018 what a nice flashback, still remember watching this videos way back in time. Now more than 2 million subscribers, the DougScore, More Doug DeMuro, things have changed a little.
The ranger rover even without any off-road kinda mods, looks so capable and badass
I've driven rougher roads than that in my old El Camino just to get home!
spamanator666 Cool
Yeah...
What a badass ......
Damn where do you live? The slums of india?
Things look different on camera (they look easier)
hasn't top gear already taught us the range rover's are better than toyoto land cruisers and Suzuki's
Basil Fabian dude top gear was like the roadkill of the tv world
Yes, but people are still angry at the fact that the RR can accomplish Luxury, On road and off road performance at the same time, while remaining stylish, comfortable and beautiful.
People seem to forget that a car, no matter if it’s a RR, Land Cruiser, Jeep or a Suzuki, in an off-road environment will suffer and of course you are not going to go home with a 100% healthy car. So they slap the Unreliable dog tag on the RR, just cuz they are harder to fix due to electronics... which in fact it is kind of a pain in the ass.
Looks like an eighties amateur documentary, I love it!
You've gotten so polished in the few years since.
I'm actually very surprised and impressed with how well the Range Rover did in those big mud ruts!
*LOL CHALLENGING!*
I drive through forest roads like those daily. With my Dacia.
Which Dacia?
Ever heard of diff lock and low range? I bet you do, because you engaged the diff lock and low range in the LC
why didn't you use diff lock at the last hurdle?
Best off roading video ever
At least someone who went "off roading" with his Range Rover, but to be honest the terrain and your tires were just a joke! Your Range Rover seemed to be sleeping during this little trip....
If it's overheating stick it in neutral or park and rev the engine at about 3000 rpm for a minute or so.
+Aidan Sweeney Oh yeah, that will totally cool it down
Igor Alessio it works. my car was getting concerningly hot, so I pulled over, put it in park, revved it at about 3000 for about 5 minutes, halved the temperature which was just over the red near the H. which means hot.
+Aidan Sweeney thats weird. If your car overheats, its a signal of a bad cooling system, maybe a leak or your fan isn't working. revving it up just makes it hotter and harder to cool of, the best thing to do is turning it off or just leting it run at 800 rpm until it is cool. I've driven a car whose fan wasnt working properly, and got in a heavy traffic on a summer day. guess what? water boiled. I was lucky tu turn it off quickly and didn't got worst problems hehe
+Igor Alessio If your fan isn't working, nothing besides turning it off is going to help it cool down. -On the other hand, if your fan is working fine and it is a mechanical fan, like on most older cars (probably how it is on that Land Cruiser), revving the engine spins the fan faster and sucks more air into the radiator, thus cooling it down.
+Igor Alessio well if your fan works the fan turns faster when you rev it thus cooling the engine.
I love the fact that you actually did this with your range rover and I cant believe you didn't even have it locked in this is a awesome video
I really like your videos! Keep posting
Driving a Range Rover Normally is insulting your RANGE ROVER! DON'T DO IT!
The intake on the Jeep 😜👌🏾
i recognized that music right away. i love playing castle crashers on my 360.
I love the way he's showing the difference between between both cars
all 3 would of made it if you had better drivers
Never been an off-roader but I heard that Tacomas were actually quite capable off-roading vehicles, especially if upgraded, supercharged and if they came with a manual. Is there any truth to this?
They dont necessarily have to be supercharged, just 4x4 with a rear locker and a manual is best but still is capable with an auto
The soundtrack at the end is just superb!
If I take negative off for 15 mins do I need to touch it on positive terminal or can I leave it off for 15 mins and put it back many thanks
I prefer Land Cruisers, also very luxurious, off road capable and basically lasts forever due to Toyota reliability.
Israeli shitbag Really? I've been in one and it wasn't anything special.
i have an 85 Daihatsu sportrack and it still drives great, a touch bouncy
5:40 here you should just put it in rock crawl mode (lock the dif) and just continued
Doug DeMuro I love your videos I wait so long andchech everyday f
For a video keep it up
Really enjoyed the sarcasm at the beginning of the video, and the displaying of the auto hight adjustment feature. I have had a CJ-7 all decked. 3 Bronco 2's, a 95 montero, and a 03 Montero. As I had gotten married, have children now, I more so than anything, now enjoying going out for some good quality safari riding. I'm in a severe toss up between another Montero and a R.Rover ! Maybe it's just time for a Rover !
turn the heater on full. will cool the car! :)
That's a trail?
In Russia, normal roads are like that.
Do some real off-roading.
Saharian in Russia roads drive you
Doug throw some Cooper LTZ's on your Range Rover. They will make a world of a difference and they make everyday driving on pavement much smoother. I put them on my daily Range with the same 19" wheels as you. Highly recommend it. Tire size, 255/55/R19.
You're my hero, that was excellent.
The LandCruiser it's like the mother of all the off-roading suvs there.
Nah Range Rover invented the SUV market soooooo go home.
+Nicholas Molnar Jeep was first, but not in the SUV space.
+Juan Gil it would help if he went off roading instead he drove down a dirt road, my 2wd truck could do that.
I have both a Jeep and a Toyota, Jeeps are retarded
Jeep was first with the Wagoneer and Land Rover second with the Range Rover
Its not Off roading if your just simply driving up a dirt ROAD!
+Igor K Bullshit, your a Moron. Most cars can make it up that ROAD even your piece of shit $200 Lada! Sit down and shut your mouth you Ass clown...
i havent laughed so hard ever... you sir, won a like
Good fun entertaining video! Thanks.
Tell me what year is the best reliable Range Rover to purchase? 2006 model year?!
A little late but when buying an L322 Range Rovers, buy the ones 2007-2012. The issues in 2002-06 are largely due to the shared BMW stuff.
5:50 push the dif lock button next time
Not off-roading in the slightest. Learn to wheel, brah
They're off road trails. I do a lot on my Xterra. These are easy Off-Road Trails, they're not hardcore ones you're thinking of but it's still off-road. But I will it admit, it's hilarious he thought these were difficult. haha
OL' SMALL MEAT A.J.
Nice use of the castle crashers soundtrack :)
Hey Doug, I know its an old video but what's up with the plate from NWT. Quite a bit away from California
You're part of the problem bud. ''Fancy off road settings''. This is why stereotypes won't die for those poor rover guys.
gotta out perform the competition, toyota land cruiser has similiar technology, eas etc etc
Luke Davis "poor" rover guys? Those rovers cost more than your typical murican trucks. His old yellow rover would be better suited for this than that fancy one.
Offroading isn't about sitting in AC cabin with music on. Getting a recliner sofa is a better option.
Farrukh Mehmood lol right.... the guys saying this have never gone off road and gotten dirty, there better off sitting on a couch with there fan on them
Dear Dourg,
Please review the Mercerdes gl450 2007 thanks offroad and on street also
Thanks
Love it Doug. Thanks
Big Range Rover fan, but for 4WDing i prefer Landcruiser or a Pajero.
Yeah!
OffroadFreak Pajero have gone downhill since the new model came out and dropped the chassis for a unibody
Bit oversensitive? Its an inferior design for off-road or towing.
The Range Rover is excellent, I agree. Trust me i'm a huge fan. Unibody has many advantages, including mpg, handling, and will work perfectly well for off-road and towing. The advantage of a body on frame design is that the chassis is separate from the body, which means it hhas the frame to flex and take that stress, so the body doesnt have to. With a unibody, all that stress and strain is going through the whole body, which will be detrimental in the long run. An example of this is if you go on an axle twister (ie two wheels off the ground) and try to open your door on a unibody, chances are you wont be able to open it because the whole body is flexing. Not so with body on frame, which for this application is a better design. The best solution is really the Discovery 3/4 chassis.
Actually body on frame provides a better ride as there is more separation. Bumps have to go through the chassis and its mounts before it affects the body. No flex in anything? The unibody does resist flex, that is true, and that really helps in handling. But that is also a problem, especially when put under strain in off road or towing situations. The body will flex where it shouldnt. With body on frame, the frame is designed with flex in mind, so it will be more durable in the long run. As for crashes, the G-Class is a very old design, dating back to 1979. Look at a crash test of the new Land Cruiser 200, it gets a 5 star NCAP rating.
You are driving the Range Rover slower so that the jeep looks like it sucks.
you need terrain response in my 07, i never get stuck with diff lock and transfer lock.
Love your off road videos there very cool
Damn. Wasted my time watching this.
And making a useless comment
Id much rather off-road in a jeep than a Range Rover any day
No
Same here lol
Nick Heater at least the jeep would be considerably cheaper to repair.
Nick Heater “ I enjoy being poor”
It looks so effortless! I Want a 2012 range rover !
Watching all your videos.
I think everyone is missing something pretty obvious....driving on a dirt road a day after it rained isn't really "off roading" Now take all three vehicles to a designated off road park and do a test, you'll quickly learn that independent suspension vehicles just don't have enough travel to do anything. The last shot in the video shows it. If you cant keep the tires on the ground, you're not going to make it far. Very simple.
+SilverBulletTj The typical response from an "off-roading expert (usually Jeep owner)" that thinks nothing is off roading unless its the most extreme trail imaginable. Also, that there are only 2 classes of vehicle: non-off roaders and Jeeps with every expensive mod available. This logic is like assuming no car can be quick or fun, unless its a LaFerrari at the Nurburgring.
Dont hate bro, yeah I've had multiple jeeps....and a bunch of chevys...and an ifs toyota. Guess which one sucked dick off road. I was once a youngin in highschool blowing all my cash on my first tj. But saying you have to have every expensive mod on a jeep is bullshit. A stock tj we'll pretty much do what ever you want if you can drive. Plus, buy a hacked up tj for around $2500 that some idiot tried to long arm, but dropped some coin on gears and lockers, fix hack job fab stuff, and you can have a super cheap, very capable, off road rig. I've done it twice now. And nothing wrong with dirt road driving if thats your thing, go for it
+SilverBulletTj And install a SYE, or transfer case drop, new rear driveshaft if you lift it more 2.5 inches, replace the failure prone Dana 35, and then you might have a reliable TJ. Of course, after you replace the cooling system, or the OPDA if you have an 05/06 model. TJs are not bad, but they take a lot more work than a comparable full size 4x4 to work well off road. I live in Florida, and the terrain is largely sand and woods. Not too many rocks around these parts. I own a 00 TJ Sport. After a year of work and close to 3K (that includes new tires, cooling system, auto trans, and brakes) it might be as capable as the 95 Tahoe Z71 2 door it replaced.
+Edward Brearey it isn't off roading if my 1999 camry could do it. albeit a little slower
Independent suspensions are good for prerunning.
Awkward moment when he has the fraternity SAE on his jeep.
Skoorb Brooks yes because what a group of guys did defines a national association as racist scumbags.
Andrew A Didn't say that. Just said it was awk.
Skoorb Brooks lol i noticed that too. The Jeep Wrangler is the official fraternity car.
Yep. Should have joined the real SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers).
i have a land rover defender and LR series 3, with my cars a make a very very hard offroad. But i have 15 years of experience in LR and offroad and it's very difficult to stay stuck
What trail is that? I'm assuming its in Georgia because this was a pre-move video.
Aww, isn't this cute. Off-roading for toddlers...
...for non off roaders
had you simply taken a different angle, your tire wouldn't have spun to the point you were stuck. also should've gotten a better range rover. all the recent ones, as in 2013 land rover range rover sport, has locking diffs. also wouldn't have had that problem. GO JEEP though
i got the 2013 one. its a beast
My step mom had the 2013 sport, they were awesome dude. beast as fuck.
+Andy Cocchia especially with the sports mode , sounds beautiful
soon gunna get black rims on it and murder the bad boy
hell yes
This guy is just terrible at off-roading in general.
What's his hand doing at 1:02?
I can't find a normal video of venture (song before and during the off-road) but all the videos with it in Doug's videos
Shoulda dominated with the H1 instead
ill take the Range Rover over a jeep any day not because its a RR but because you get what you pay for it does what they say it can do... jeeps are crap the always need work (2000-up jeeps argue it if you please its a fact no matter what) yes jeep parts are less but see RR ARE built to last. thats why i will most likely be trading in my 05 ford f250 for a 05-07 Range Rover
+me2456 You might want to go watch his other video on this same Range Rover. "My Range Rover's CarMax Warranty: A Summary"
csu266 iv seen it i know the risks but when the panastar v6 is known for actually bursting into flames/ the engine needing to be replaced at low milage ill stick with some problems of the range rover..
+me2456 it's not the engines fault it's the transmission overheating, I've owned jeeps and never had issues with any of them besides general up keep
Cole Stangler my old jeep and my moms brand new jeep are full of leaking issues.. they recalled it but its still leaving so its going back.
+me2456 Well I can't speak for every vehicle but at least for me and my friends that have jeeps love them and have no issues with them.
what engine was in that rubicon?
God I love your Video's, I feel like this when I'm out in the country in mine, Also the split tail gate is great as a shooting break area.
Dude, your videos make my day over here in Afghanaland. Keep em coming!
You spelled Afghanistan wrong.
Great observation Captain Obvious...
What part??? Kandahar???
I've had range rovers follow me in my Jeep Wrangler rubicon and they could not keep up when the terrain got rough.
Those kind of trails are fun with the family, not too hard but enough to get dirty.
i like them
who did you get to do the outside shots?
The music at 0:48-0:54 literally killed me as well as the joke about basic Range Rover drivers😂
Land Rover greatest off roading machine ever built end of discussion.
+William Durazo
>Land Rover
>machine
??
+Nee het is steen hahahahaha
William Durazo that’s a good joke dude
In your dreams idiot
Happy 2019 Doug!
What's the name of the song at the beginning of the video named
what the heck kind of tow strap was that?
Jimmy eat world! Love it
The castle crashers song had me dying 😂
Love your videos. Too funny.
