Agreed! I've loved every second of my P300 110 S. Its not been bothered by anything I or the environment have thrown at it. No serious issues yet and the vehicle is just superb to drive. You can drive it harder than you'd ever think possible on and off road and its beyond up to it. Having an international 5 year Warranty and global recovery services covered by my dealer for 5 years is a nice peace of mind as well. It gets tons of love everywhere I take it. People take pictures, give the nod, walk up with questions and at least 50% of old defender drivers send love out on the road lol. Sure not everyone loves it, but its been a joy to majority of people out in the real world who see it. Its the biggest win for someone like me, who is not a defender of defenders and just want a great capable vehicle with a warranty and incredible livability.

What a waste of money

@@stn7172 i just returned from another incredible adventure in this amazing vehicle..We all had such a Blast!! I cannot put a price on the joy that this vehicle has brought to myself ,friends and family! Priceless!

Yes that was odd. 2 Utes and an SUV - why not 3 SUVs? It still would have won.

Yeah agreed. Though I was genuinely interested in the outcome as I'm tossing up between a Raptor and a Defender, you could buy a Rubicon AND a Raptor for the price of a mid-specced, optioned up Defender. Hmmmm, that might have made my decision for me.

Tfl annoys me banging on about having their third defender. First one, fair enough but their second, some technician cut through the wiring loom. Hardly the car's fault!

Defender is now built on Discovery 4/Range Rover platform so it has nothing from the original Defender. Don't get me wrong, I Iove the Discovery 4 which is one of the most capable offroad vehicles straight from factory and this new defender is marketed to a different segment of the market, $150k?

What keeps me away from the Defender is reliability concerns. If they could fix that they might really have a new segment to sell to.

@@Verdigris. Totally Agree

I missed the cars. I only saw one SUV & two pickups

Defender wouldn’t last long

same:)

@Professor Al ok, so you remove doors left on side of road or home, then remove mirrors attach to hood then come home and redo all in reverse or have a spare set of mirrors :) or

@Professor Al I know a little more about driving between trees, maybe if you Knew how to then your mirrors would stay on.

The base models are less than that

That's the top end

It still outperforms all 3 of those. Most notably the LC.

Glad someone said this

I bought a Raptor from these guys review to then find the Raptor doesn’t have Adaptive Cruise Control…not even an option! Credibility of these guys clearly in question when they can’t take the time to research or test properly.

I wouldn't sully the Defender with such a vulgar name as "SUV" I'd call it an off roader :P

I’d throw in the Patrol. Value for money and off road capabilities my money on patrol

Do you think the new landcruiser would be nimble round the track? Also they made a point of saying these cars were as sold not modified. It is surprising that there is not an offroad and overland component to this test. Reading between the lines they seem to be saying the wrangler would win the former and the raptor the later.

No. the Ranger and Gladiator are ladder on frame. The Maverick is not sold in Australia. We call everything with seating up front and a load down the back a ute. Except trucks, but trucks (cab over generally) are pretty easy to distinguish and exclude here. A RAM is called a ute, despite what it is referred to in the US.

@@Drivecomau I thought that the definition of a ute (coupe utility) was a car based (unibody) vehicle with a open cargo area. They would pretty much all be called pickup trucks here, even the unibody versions (Maverick and Ridgeline). We do, or used to, get a more classic Australian style ute with the Subaru Baja. Nobody knew what to call it. Are all Rams considered utes? There is a lot of variation between a 1500 and a 5500. Same with Ford's F150 to F750. Thanks for any info that you can provide. It really is interesting to know how these things are view around the world.

Because for that you should buy a LandCruiser 200... Every vehicle in this list can't be fixed in the bush.

@@HughSmith I agree - but i wish the youTube would include when they do review mate - Thats all - Thank you though...

A Landcruiser isn't going to give you much change from $100K, although as someone else pointed out, I'm not sure where they got this one for $74K

Hmmmm $100k for a Ford Raptor before on road? What are you smoking? They said $77k - open your ears

The Gladiator has a 3L diesel as an option. At least here in the US it does. It's $4,200 though. If I was going that far I would go with the Ram 3500 SRW diesel.

Fords are reliable here in the great USA.

Exactly. Rather stupid comparison tbh. Probably paid by Land Rover

Where are you getting $70-$80k for the Gladiator? I almost bought a Rubicon fully loaded it was right at $60k. I guess with alot of after market add ons it will hit the $70k mark.

I would rather buy an lc or the f150

This must be an Aussie POV. In NA these three could easily be cross shopped and asked to do the same thing

@@BlackPenquinn no way jose

If it had a V6 diesel it would have been a ripper, but that little 2L diesel, no way.

@@Renegade040 get the f150 beo it will kick these 3

@@Ford-Explorer606 now you are talking.

How many horror stories can you tell me about the Jeep Gladiators Rubicons. Just because another model had some issues 6 years ago doesn't make this one a horror story. So what you are saying Jeep keep building there cars with the same issues, never improve.

@@Renegade040 fiats suck. Ford and gm are also way reliable than those fca and jeep products . Every survey says that. The land cruiser will shit all these 3 in seconds and my pick would be the land cruiser definitely

@@Ford-Explorer606 fiat may suck in your opinion. Just wonder when did fiat design the Jeep? I know the Jeep SUV I own was designed by Mercedes . Jeep has been around long before Fiat has had anything to do with Jeep.

@@Ford-Explorer606 what in the hell us Fiats got to do with this, the Gladiator as nothing in common with a Fiat, where did that come from. Now I would bet my house on a off road comparison between a Jeep Rubicon vs a landcruiser. In standard form the LC is very average, need to spend BIG money to make them off ready and also you need to rob a bank to buy these over rated.4X4's.

@@stringer-ik1pc lol, you're evidently not the LR salesman currently trying to get me to spend money with him instead of Ford, then

@@roystonstarling They sell themselves That's what 'Status symbols' do. Old boy.

@@stringer-ik1pc Yep, it's all about status isn't it, stringer number 2295. The Defender is an incredible car, but this 'comparison' is so far from a true comparison, it's useless. This old boy is tired now, all this intelligent input from you has taken it's toll (or is that 'troll'?). Night, night.

I understand that all 110 Defender models get air suspension, you only have the choice if you buy a 90.

This wasn't a test for the best all rounder, it was the test for the best SUV off road from the show room floor, the Jeep would win this hands down.

Till it breaks down. I choose something like a mercedes g class to kick that money pit. Merc by the way is the most reliable vechiles after volvo cars

@@Renegade040 Raptor wins I think where is the jeep

So your comparing a new Raptor to 25/30 year old Landrovers?? That statement proves one thing only.

Absolutely, no contest with a Ford or Jeep. They could have thrown the new Bronco in there to make people really laugh!

Agree bullshit review, did the test where the Defender was better, had there minds already made up.

@Professor Al That makes sense.

@@adkc19 Raptor is disgusting biggest joke I have ever heard from a trash fanboy

I have a 2019 150 series Prado worst car I have owned it's been on the back of a tow truck 3 times after going into limp mode.

@@splurjioaarmani3205 I'm guessing your dpf was clogged due to the badly designed particulate filter & small driving trips? On the updated 150kw/500nm 2021 version of the 2.8d Toyota have replaced the dpf with a better design & changed car software to do regular burn offs aswell as a bigger turbo & some other engine improvements.
