Last challenge Defender is all over the place, Jeep wheels never leave the ground yet Defender wins becoz reasons. Oh and Merc wins everything even though it couldn't complete all the challenges and the other two could (strange way to win for an off road battle).

      @@danbruh33 I totally agree with you. As an all rounder the new Defender looks surprisingly comfortable around town and from all the serious reviews I've seen it's mighty impressive off road too, comfortably going head to head with the 200 series 'cruiser. That's why it's annoying that someone had to make things up (you have to be smoking something to think the Defender has anywhere near the articulation of the rubicon especially with swaybars disconnected), the Defender is plenty good enough to stand on its own merits and out of the three tested was arguably the best all rounder and best value for money.

    As someone who's had a big portion of my life going off roading, i can say this wasn't a very accurate test. The Jeep wrangler is without a doubt the best Off roader out of the bunch, due to its suspension and ladder frame design. The other two have both become more focused at being city cars. The Jeep shouldn't have lost the articulation test, and judging by how dangerously high the Defender's wheels were in the air during the last test, the jeep should have won that too, and the race around the tree all depended on who was willing to drive the quickest over the rough terrain. In a real world, proper off road course in the mountains or any other inconsistent and uneven terrain, the Jeep will be by far ahead of the rest, because there articulation is very important and actually essential to not tipping or rolling your vehicle

    • @arvidjohansson3120

But the most important factor about the ladder frame suspension is it's ability to stay rigid and not flex under heavy articulation. I guess that just further falls in with the ruggedness factor but it's important for someone who's actually going off roading allot.

The Merc also had more momentum from the start on the rocky slope test, Jeep looked like it started with the lowest speed. All the vehicles could probably use less tire pressure too, looks to be on street air pressure. All 3 vehicles need the same driver, start points/speed for certain tests, same launches.. either off idle or boosted launch, same tires and tire pressure.

    If you put off the middle differental, you can drive better around tight corners like in minute 12:46 till 13:00 . If you had the middle-differential in position on, you have got an circle of 18 meters or something. The Defender must have an automatic function to put it off that you can drive better around tight corners, maybe at special degrees of the steering wheel or the wheels itself.
    Very good videos and not so many facts. Your feeling to drive is more interesting than how many torque it have at some rpm in Position X of the gas pedal.

      They didn't really do that Rubicon Justice I drive a Land Rover Discovery 2 but I know for a fact down here in Arizona with the Rocky hill climbs we do all the rubicon's with just a size larger tires are down crawl up things with those front-rear lockers and do sway bar disconnects in those solid axles. It does things the defender can't do or at least a Defender can't do as easily. The defender doesn't have the articulation it weighs more and it is higher center of gravity. They're just choosing the Land Rover because they were both speaking with a British accent LOL what would you rather have in the forest yeah but would you rather have rock climbing and doing real manly stuff that Rubicon no question about it. That's why when they show a video of a Defender following some Jeep rubicon's around there all impressed and praising the defender while there's like 20 other Jeeps all doing the same thing easier and no one mentioned how good they're doing because it's expected but let's praise the defender for merely keeping up LOL they need to see some of those videos.

    Speaking as a machinist myself and knowing metal scrapings intimately, when you're bottoming out in the center like that and stopping all you're doing is letting the weight sit and continue to build and then going just an inch or two and stopping again, also makes you let the weight sit down on it again once you start moving and the small scrape starts happening simply let it slide all the way through and you will have minimal damage to the metal. AKA it's better to have a little ding then it is to have multiple large scrapes.Just a little advice to help you with your show and budget
