Off-road enthusiasts know & love the old Land Rover Defender. However, times have changed. Land Rover is no longer the rugged brand that it once was. Their vehicles (though still mighty capable) have become somewhat of a staple in the wealthier households of the world. Does this mean that their new dedicated off-roader can't hang? Well, you may be surprised!

Such a shame about TLF and their Defender. However, would one bad apple stop you from getting this? Let me know!

I just bought one, I am a female and really just thought it was so cool looking. This is my 5th Landrover, started with a Range Rover , had a LR 4 , 2 Discovery Sports and Now this. It is so Big. Seeing it and driving it did not seem as big, but getting home to garage is is super tall. I am 5’1”. Inside the car though driving you feel like you’re in your own world. It feels so sound, so solid and just amazing. I like this video it is helping me learn about my new companion. The technology it it seems amazing yet not too complicated . Mine has a charger thing to lay your phone on without even plugging it it. Curious how many buyers are females?

@a.g.sanning7178 2 года назад

I'd actually love to know how you feel about driving it being your height. I'm 5ft even and have been really interested in this vehicle but everyone else I know who has it says they have trouble reaching the pedals and sitting up in the car at our height. Did you raise the pedals or are you sitting on something? I want to buy it but I'm scared I won't be able to see over the steering wheel.

@fantasymakersmedia1558 2 года назад

I love driving it. It is all adjustable inside so being tiny makes no difference. I can see so well and love this vehicle! I have to pull up to get in the car but that makes me feel alive …. I like to hop into it. I know you can get running boards if that bothers you but I am good and a physical person .

@nicolemontgomery4800 3 года назад

I love the looks of this vehicle. I was all set to purchase a 2020 or 2021 until I reviewed many issues coming up even on day 1 that the vehicle is picked up from the dealer. It is interesting that at the beginning of the video the comment of “they are not known for their reliability” or something along those lines is mentioned. How can Land Rover be content with the reliability issues? As much as I want this vehicle, the thought of it being in the shop more than it should be bothers me. Hopefully this will be a more reliable vehicle in the 2022 model year.

@navydoc 3 года назад

Forrest, recently you reviewed a 2020 Land Cruiser Heritage Edition, which helped me with the decision of getting one. How does it compare with the Land Rover when going off-road? It's obvious Toyota has the edge in reliability and the Rover has the edge in tech - just curious which one you'd consider superior for the trails.

@forrestsautoreviewsofficial 3 года назад

I think they could both be pretty neck & neck in terms of capabilities. For a fully independent set up, it’s truly an understatement to say that this is an impressive machine. Compared to a Land Crusier where the chassis flex gives clue to how much work it’s putting in, this Defender doesn’t “flex”. This really hides how well this vehicle performs to the trained off-roader’s eye. The ground clearance on the Defender (in maximum height) is a tad better than the Land Cruiser. I’d be interested to see one of these kitted out. It would be one capable machine, however, the massive question mark is reliability when compared to the legendary Cruiser.

The 2022 model should be a larger improvement due to a better understanding of weaknesses. 2023 model should be a much larger improvement since LR should know by then how to solve the problems they’re having as well as refine the manufacturing process. Of course, this depends on them not making a dumb decision to try out a bunch of brand new things before perfecting what they already have.
