    Grew up with thése in Namibia as a child - thís one's exterior "cage" looks horrendous though and must make it even more top heavy. They were good on sand and never rusted, but reliability was not as good as the Toyota Land Cruiser.

    I've never seen this dashboard before. With the aircon vents integrated on the dashboard. It looks neat. Looks like it is only for the North American market.

    This might just be the first MotorWeek Retro Review that I have ever watched with a vehicle that has been described as having enough rear seat headroom for a giraffe!!!!! While rarely seen by Americans, this is essentially the same vehicle that has been the vehicle of choice for adventurers the world over since 1948.

    Think this interior is spartan? I used to travel in a friend's 1976 Australian assembled model and someone fitted a Holden 186 inline six cylinder ans ran it on LPG. It only had a top speed of around 80 k.p.h. It also featured the opening vent flaps under the windscreen (or windshield!), omitted here. This thing is ridiculously luxurious for what thus was intended for. Carpets?? Come on, they are a mud slinger.

    The fact that this Defender 110 did not have an available automatic is absolutely ridiculous. They could have sold more if it had one. If I had one, I would have replaced the whole drivetrain with a GM crate V8 engine and aftermarket automatic transmission.

      You can't compare a land cruiser to a Defender. People never look at these things from a worst case scenario. If you were stuck in the middle of the desert with a broken down Defender and a broken down land cruiser which do you think you are more likely to be able to fix and drive yourself back to safety in? And don't say "well it wouldn't happen, Toyota 's never break down" because I've been in the motor industry all my life and now work for 1 of the biggest diesel manufacturers in the world and my response would be "bollocks!" You cannot build a perfect engine that never breaks down.

  • @justsumguy2u

    They are great off-road, but for someone that only uses it as transportation, I can't imagine too many choices that would be worse. Who would pay that kind of money for a miserable driving experience if they never take it off-road?

      Truth Robot maybe not? I moved to Northern CA 3 years ago and its so strange when I see one in a city so clean and shiny. I come from a rural area of the UK and these trucks are the back bone of my country. It will be interesting to see how the new one holds up

    • @ericbuist8218
      @ericbuist8218 7 років тому +8

      petayV8 There are so few of these in the US that their price is driven up to the point that it's hard to justify beating on one off-road, especially when there are so many cheaper alternatives (Jeeps, pick-up trucks, etc.).

    @alexstepanski 7 років тому +13

    It doesn't matter if it's a Defender 90/110 or a Range Rover.. a 3.9 Land Rover engine is a turd. The diesel land rovers were great, the standard 4x4 features were nice, a 1992 XJ Cherokee could be had for half the price and about 15k in air lockers, winch, re-gearing, 6 inch lift 33s would put wheel and out last a defender in every way except rust, properly treat the XJ for rust every year and it's simply the best. XJ is highly underrated.

      @ballardstowingandoffroadre2367 6 років тому +1

      I will argue this !! Once I figured out why the 3.5, 3.9, 4.0, 4.6 Motors kept breaking down, Now I have ZERO ISSUES !! There is a secret !!!. My D/D has 135,000 miles on it now, And I'm getting ready to drive it from here in Florida to Bosie IDAHO in a couple months !!. I'd trust my Range Rover Classic over every other vehicle I own (15 Vehicles) except my 1996 Dodge Cummins Dually !!. But it's a Cummins !!!. Don't knock a Range Rover motor !! Their just as good as any other motor !!

      racingracingracingracing . I can't just blast out what I've learned . I make money off these things. I do repairs for several people that also own the older Land Rovers. I will say this tho. Use OEM parts !!. Use the Correct oil that the Dealer calls for !!. And Keep up with the routine maintenance !!. It's really that simple !!!!. . Good Luck.

    • @ballardstowingandoffroadre2367
      @ballardstowingandoffroadre2367 6 років тому

      racingracingracingracing Well. If I blasted on UA-cam what I've figured out about them. Then it would no longer be a secret, Would it ????. So NO. I'm not gonna tell some "Random" Guy !!!. And how I market my business is not your concern !!!!. I'm sorry you believe I should tell you, But the fact is, I know what causes these older Motors to overheat and Blow Up !!!!. And if you PAY ME, I will repair the problem !! But still not gonna TELL you what I did !!!. So far, EVERYONE OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS has been SUPER HAPPY with this arrangement !!!. So How you feel doesn't bother me !!!. And YES, Routine Maintenance is a HUGE DEAL with the older Rovers !!!.

    The Land Rover was developed on a Willy's jeep chassis after WW2. So it, just like the FJ landcruiser, nissan patrol and the Mitsubishi knock off jeep are all derivatives and not original. The Jeep Is and always will be superior.
