That’s some lovely smooth, careful driving and shows what a standard or lightly modded Landrover can do. The Disco 3 Just scampered up the lot. Thanks for showing it’s true capabilities.
Sick video mate, I'm about to embark on the D3 journey my self, great to see it being used like it was designed for! Ha love the D2 getting it done too. I almost want one of them instead just so I'm not as scared to get rough with it!
It's certainly the reason why most people who like off roading don't do it in stuff like Range Rovers despite the fact that they are great off roaders. As for the rest most people have no interest in off roading. They like SUVs for high ride, large cargo, status etc.
The LR3 is a very capable vehicle. As I have driven one at the Landrover driving school. The Disco 2 isn't bad, but the Patrol is the truck you would take into the most extreme conditions. Perhaps not the newest Patrol, but most any previous model is atleast a hair better than the G-Wagon and only a sliver below the Landcruiser.
any patrol is definitely better than land cruisers offroad. especially better than the 79. patrols have the strongest drivelines that you can get. but i prefer a disco 2
Those were great off road trails to showcase the LR Terrain Response System. Here is another trail with my Disco Sport HSE: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-K9fMHgBcI-8.html
interesting you guy's made it look easy, or clever editing! but around the 11 minute make that section is usually harder than that. it seems the track has been packed up since I last went

Great video! What roof rack do you have on the D3? I see it's fixed to the factory roof rails. I would like something like that, as it looks easily detachable. I would only use it a couple of times a year, and my car would not clear the garage entrance with a roof rack on :(
Scott A. M Thanks for the reply, an amazing performance from both Discos considering then eh? I am looking at buying one and wanted an e-diff, but a friend who works for the Landrover Experience was telling me they are really capable without it...... I guess this shows he’s right. 😎
@@vik_vnedorog Mud & Rutts is best in the mud as well. You can disable DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) which is only recommended to be done in Sand mode. I have not had trouble with ABS while doing difficult off-roading as it low speed.
This specific LR3? This one has been a bit of a nightmare. Having said that I still have it and have done a lot of kms in it and some big trips. It has never left me stranded in the middle of nowhere... though it has left me stranded in a carpark when the electric handbrake locked on!
Are you asking which did it easier? The video shows a Discovery 2, a Discovery 3 and a Nissan Patrol. They all did the track differently. They all completed it.
For off road and general use I would go the Discovery 3 or 4. They are a smaller vehicle and a lot more comfortable. They drive extremely well around town and on the highway.
Yeah. It has been fine. I think they have mounting options if you don't have the extended roof rails. Took it out into the Simpson and Lake Eyre fully loaded and it didn't move or sag.
