I love this style of reviews, and Tommy does an exceptional job.

As a Discovery 4 owner, I love the new Defender, itās the best Discovery they have ever made! Seriously, they should have just called it the Discovery 6. A great vehicle with a confusing name thanks to the marketing team. Every vehicle is a compromise, and I got the LR4 over the jeep because 99% of the time, Iām on the road. When I do off road it, I can do all but the silliest things the jeep guys do, and have a much more comfortable drive back home. Given how expensive Jeep Wranglers have been in the last decade, it made the LR an easy choice.

Iāve had my ā22 Defender X for 2 years now, have taken it off-road about a dozen times, including some really nasty trails at Death Valley, it handles pretty much anything you throw at it. This is my 14th vehicle and has been the most reliable out of all of them, by far.

I love my defender and itās been super capable off-road, itās gone everywhere Iāve needed it to and it does it with style

I have a 2021 D300 and have done 75000km with big trips going from Cape Town to Northern Namibia, Botswana and back.
Been to the dealership twice to get it serviced.
Maybe Iām lucky but the ride quality and off road capabilities as an overlander has worked wonders for me.

Love this video. Everyone keeps trying to compare the new Defender to the old Defender. Isn't it more comparable to the LR3/LR4??? I think everyone is too stuck on the name. I'm sure I'm bias because I own one, but it is a very capable vehicle. You pay a little more but it is SOOO much nicer than other vehicles in its class.
I paid $60K for a new Wrangler JLUR. It didn't have features like air ride (pro and con to some), auto high beams, auto headlights, etc. The interior quality, like the bronco, was no where to the level of the Defender. And that vehicle was horribly reliable for me. Oil leaks, computer issues, suspension issues, etc. The frame and axles were all covered in surface rust after 1 season.
I shopped bronco but for $65K, plus dealer markups at the time, the interior quality was not even close. I question if that small turbo engine is any more reliable than the Defender. And again it lacked options and quality compared to the Defender. I just didn't love the cheap plastics inside. Things like the sway bar disconnect on IFS are cool but really a party trick that is rarely used.
The defender does lack some underbody protection, which I'd like to add at some point. But with more ground clearance than my JLUR with a 2" lift, I never touched the JLUR skids on anything after several times off-road.
I'm excited to see what this vehicle does long term. I picture it being the LR3 and LR4 of the future that are reliable, comfortable and super capable but overlooked because of the LR name.

Excellent work Tommy! The quality of your productions, in particular is really excellent. Well done!

I love the Defender and LR content in general. Keep up the good work!

I would like to see a hard off road test with Ineos vs Defender.

We really enjoyed the video, as usual - Thanks!
We're motorcycle riders and tipping our toes into adventure motorcycles for the good months of the year but in the winter, with snow, ice and salt, we often need to use our 4-wheelers.
We live in Southern New England, in family oriented neighborhood and we see quite a few of these Land Rover Defenders and a few Range Rovers driving around. Now, to be fair, we also see a ton of Jeep Wranglers, Toyota 4Runners, Honda Passports/Pilots, Subaru Outback/Crosstrek, some Ford Broncos, a few Lexus GX/LX, Mercedes G-Class and a handful or Rivians.
We truly believe that more than 95% of these never go off-road. They are great family SUVs, they are awesome to go over the many potholes that our roads are full of and it's great to have 4 wheel-drive for rain, snow and ice. But true off-roading capabilities often are not used.
In our opinion, for people that get to drive a few times a year on unpaved roads and are very outdoorsy (like we are) but not really into off-roading, having a more road oriented Defender makes sense as this is where it will be driven 90% of the time. If you have the cash available for it... Having the capabilities to go off-road is great!
We love the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon but it definitely does not tick several boxes for on-road comfort for our daily drive.
We are waiting to check out the new 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser and the future 4Runner. However, a Land Cruiser is not that cheap either and the 4 cylinders does not really sound that cool - even if the Land Cruiser will probably last you 25 years without a hiccup...

That Boulder whole foods parking lot is hell and more perilous than any off road trail

30k completed in my new defender - plenty of deep mud and water - love it. So capable just change the stock all terrain wheels for the mud / more aggressive ones and itās a game changer.

Tommy, Tommy, Tommy! Yes you're right the vast majority of Defenders don't see any dirt. Having taken my 2023 Defender X 90 to Alaska from Idaho while pulling a trailer, I had no major issues except for one tire repair and a cracked windshield. So for a +7,000 mile trip that included Alcan and Denali Hwy I would rate the Defender as "A" in regards to its durability, design, and reliability. The one real strength of the Defender that doesn't get discussed much, is the capability of driving in the snow and/or adverse icy conditions. I've never encountered sketchy situation in the snow and felt like it was going south on me. Keep up the work.

Tommy is the best TFL reviewer. He also frequents owner forums and gets insights from actual owners. I respect him for that.
Also, he apparently shops at the same Whole Foods that I do. š
But Tommy, are you fellas just gluttons for punishment? We've all seen the trials you've gone through with the MULTIPLE Discos you've had. If you're going to review it again, I want to know what LR has done to make it more reliable.

Love the no shoulder room comment regarding the previous iterations. I recall placing some form of added insulation between the door and my shoulder for winter driving.

My Land Rover salesman told me I'm one of the very few he knows who's actually going to take their Defender off-roading - most of his customers happen to be professional athletes. When I bought it, I looked past all the creature comforts and focused on its off-road capability. Sure enough, it has performed excellently. As a bonus, it handles driving on asphalt wonderfully. Even after a year and a half of ownership, I still have a smile on my face whenever I get behind the wheel.

Great review, I have had a 2020 model since new and it has been on off road tracks with no problems at all. On road smooth and cool.

Andrew St. Pierre-White on 4XOverland has the perfect video explaininng why he would never take it overlanding and the fails the engineers baked into the new Defender. If the battery dies you need a laptop with the diagnostic software to properly reboot all the computers.
