Snowy Ditch Dive in our LR3 - We test the Land Rover in the Snow - Better than the last Disco?

- We take one of our LR3's (Discovery for you outside the USA) to the lost cause ranch and test it out in the snow. Just a little comparison to the Disco 2 we tried out last week.
The Disco snow test is in this video: • Land Rover Series IIA ...
We do a couple pathetic attempts at snowy hill climbs. Better in some places, worse in others. The Goodyear Duratrac's make quite the difference. Don't take this too serious, one of these days I'll get the chainsaw out so we can actually get up into the woods. - Авто та транспорт
The dog taking a dump in the background at the beginning is gold
She has great presence on camera.
All this should have been no problem for an LR3 (Discovery 3) - terrain response set to snow, low mode, high height and the correct winter tyres with reduced pressure.
Love how the dog is taking a dump at 0:25
I laughed quite a bit while editing that.
It's you, you don't know how to handle the car.
Oh I know. I said it was me
Like you said....it’s not the car, it’s the skill of the driver.
Haha I know that for sure.
Is not the truck, is the driver...he is in the desert, absolutely no skils😂😂😂😂
I 100% agree with you.
I just loved the dog taking a shit at the beginning! It set the tone for the rest of the vid! lol
I like to keep it consistent!
A few things I would have done different as an lr3 owner too. Tyre pressures lowered would help you massively. And switch to the command start in second. Use the terrain response and low range too. But we all learn doing this so all in you still gain from it 👌🏻
For that kind of deep snow over dirt (not compact snow & ice such as on a road) I'd have it in Mud 'n Ruts, 4-Lo, DSC Off....and of course suspension in off-road height.
Put it in snow or rock crawling mode so it locks the diff locks. Also great wheels, what make are they
They are Racing Dyanmics RD5, BMW wheel that we had around.
@@LostCauseRanch Not trying to worry you, but you may want to check the load ratings on the wheels. A fully loaded LR3/LR4 can exceed 3 tons. When driving off road, you can put all of that load on only 3 sometimes 2 wheels. I went with Compomotive PD 1881 wheels for that reason.
0:30 The dog hinted at what a Land Rover is))))
More so hint at my skills of driving than anything haha.
Strange, I've got the same Disco but with the TDV6 engine and the same tyres and I've never been stuck in snow, ice, or sloppy mud?
It’s me. I’m the problem.
hot
I have this car for 10 years and i can easily tell you that you don’t know how to use the terrain response and the car. Disco 3 could handle those tracks.
I drive my Discovery 3 SE V8 on Pirelli allseason tires and have no problems in snow, it's a great truck.
This one is good as well as long as I'm not messing around in it. Never an issue on the streets and just fine off the road with someone else driving it haha.
what wheels / tyres set up and how much clearance ? Looks like thats been raised more than norm?
It has 18" Racing Dyanmics RD5 wheels that were designed for a 7 series BMW and 275/65r18 Goodyear Duratracs. It has the Proud Rhino 2.5" lift rods. With that tire size it did need some trimming up front.
@@LostCauseRanch looks awesome
Thanks. It does fit well on it.
@@LostCauseRanch Love it! did you have to mod the lug nuts on the BMW rims to fit properly?
What size tires are you running with the 2 inch lift?
275/65r18
@@LostCauseRanch looks great!
Did u use any low gear or traction terrain response ? Or just gave it a go?
I was just messing around, so just straight up in normal terrain mode and high on the transfer case.
@@LostCauseRanch I enjoy my lr3. It's more capable then my nerves and insurance worries 😂
Winter tires would be a good thing ;)
Always! It actually does pretty good in deep snow as is if you dont have me driving haha.
So, did you use the Terrain Response settings? Or did you simply not read the instructions? .... No further comment...
I just left it as is and went. I know it’s not how they want to be used. Here is a video where I actually use terrain response on my LR4. I was just having fun in my yard with the snow, but I do say I’m an idiot in the video so that still reigns true.

Are all 4 wheels same width ?
Yes they are.
Haha do what you want, good tires, bad tires, traction control on or off... its all about having fun.
That's the name of the game! I love messing around. Thanks for watching!
Is that the stock
exhaust?
It has the center "turtle" muffler replaced with an x pipe.
What wheels? Looks nice!
Racing Dynamics RGR. They are aftermarket BMW wheels.
I think the snow mode with all 3 lockers engaged it would help
This particular one has the center lock, no rear locker. Non of them had a factory front locker, but if you go the HD package it did come with the rear electronic locker.
What are those tyres...no grip at all.
What wheels are these also please ❤
Racing Dynamics that were designed for an e38 750il BMW. I think RD5 model.
@@LostCauseRanch the offset looks great
@@Discoveryjamie I agree, it was probably my favorite wheel setup on any of our LR3/LR4s.
@@LostCauseRanch I’m toying with the idea of modular black steels, then polishing the rim for a dish effect but yet to see it’s commitment 😂
@@Discoveryjamie That would be kind of neat, I just have the regular ole black Terrafirma steels on my current LR4.
What size are those tires
275/65R18 if I remember correctly.
@@LostCauseRanch yup found it in the comment earlier, thanks man I’m just curious if the 295/65/18 will fit I’m okay with a little trimming😁
@@LostCauseRanch would love your opinion on it
I thought the first thing you were going to do was lower the tire pressure down. That helps with traction with snow. Second does this have the center diff lock?
I was just messing around no real purpose of going anywhere. I'm just a city slicker boy playing. It does have a center diff lock, the computer controls when it locks. More apt to lock in rock crawl mode. I have no real skill in driving off road as shown. I'll have my brother take it up in to my woods sometime to show how it works with someone a little more knowledgeable.
@@LostCauseRanch cool!
I just left it in the normal terrain response mode for this and 4 lo, DSC off, nothing else messed with.
@@LostCauseRanch i saw that. Maybe it will perform better in the snow.
They all have center diff
What size tyres?
275/65/18
@@LostCauseRanch Johnson 2.5" lift rods?
Proud Rhino rods, but the same 2.5".
@@LostCauseRanch Last question: Any issues with tire rubbing?
What wheels are those? They look BA! Great video!
They are Racing Dynamics RD5s. They were for a BMW e38 750il. Discontinued, but man I love a clean 5 spoke wheel too. Thanks for the comment!
just don't know how to drive in snow. I have a LR3 and it is amazing even in deep snow. i had no problems at all.
Oh it is for sure me haha. No doubt about it.
I can't believe how many ego defending keyboard warriors hate on a free video simply made for entertainment. Can't stand to see their fav truck not excel in every way. I own an lr3 btw and love it. Great video and I dig the exhauat tone.
More LR3 videos,...🙏
We will have some more. We always have a couple laying around.
Sheweeee 😅 poor lr3
For sure haha.
xDDDDDDDDD Doggo stole the show
The dogs are way better than me.
Air down and use the correct mode and let the computer work the traction control lol this was painful
Touareg owners seeing this 😂😂😂😂
Snow tires ALWAYS no matter what vehicle you drive how many wheels are driven or what your using it for plowing commuting work whatever: the bottom line is: if it snows where you live and you drive in that snow then you NEED winter tires.
should have been more agressive/faster approach ;)
There is two schools of thought in snow driving, lots of wheel speed and slower maintain contact/consistent traction. I apparently didn’t attend either school haha.
A different kind of deuce...
That is for sure haha.
Completely the wrong settings for the conditions.... would have been a lot less effort with mud ruts or rock crawl.
Yes, I just left it in normal for the terrain. Just messing around is all. Thanks for the comment!
Well I guess everyone starts off as a newbie…
Errr turn your traction control off.
Road tyres will never work up there.
I agree, tires are always the major factor in snow. Just enjoyed playing around in the yard for a bit. Thanks for watching!
🤔
I've driven my old LR3 (which had Johnson Rods and 32 inch Nitto Terra Grapplers) as well as my LR4 in far worse than this. Not a good representation of what these vehicles are capable of.
Maybe the driver isn't very good a bad workman always blames his tools, just saying
Oh I know I'm the problem, somewhere around 6:10 I even mention it. Thanks for watching!
Put those wheels on the d2 and it will be loads better than the crappy d3!lol
Haha. You could be correct. Ted has had a few Disco's that were pretty awesome off road once setup a little bit. The Disco would have done fine if it had the right tire. Thanks for watching!
THİS TİRES ARE NOT GOOD FOR SNOW. WİNTER TİRES ARE MORE USEFULL THEN THİS.
If you want to show something, first and foremost, you have to have some skills yourself, and these are not shown here.
I’m the first to tell you I’m an idiot. I think I even said it in the video haha. I’m just out having fun.
U are a bad driver
Guaranteed I am.
