So great! Love those shorties!

My opinion is that the new Defender is an exceptional performer with genuine specs, yet it is unproven. To dismiss it out of hand is purely confirmation bias, and doesn't serve anyone well. Why wouldn't we want a brand new SUV with a 2,000 pound payload, 35" wading depth, lockers, and a...

What do you think my opinion is?

We have purchased many Land Rovers through the years. In fact, I have personally acquired nine Land Rovers, several of them new. 1986 Defender 110 Diesel (still have) 1987 Range Rover Classic 1995 Discovery 1995 Range Rover Classic 2001 Discovery II 2004 Discovery II with 300tdi (still have)...

They do not align. We are just presenting facts and performance attributes. It is up to the reader to decide what is most important. If you are traveling internationally and remote, the needs will be quite different than if you are traveling in North America. Take all the data in and buy the...

Interesting that you find it a desperate reach. It is just a perspective based on fact, and I fully disclosed my bias towards the perspective. The intention was to provide some data behind the constant dribble that Land Rovers are entirely unreliable. That is simply not a fact. . . despite the...

Well. . . here is another perspective. We all agree that Lexus (and Toyota) are the high water mark of reliability. In 2003, when Toyota was producing stalwart vehicles like the 100 Series Land Cruiser, the 4.7 Liter Tundra, the 3.4 Liter Tacoma, and others, their defects per 100 vehicles was...

Here are our thoughts on the new Defender after 700kms in the Namibian desert. . . Podcast: https://overlandjournal.com/new-defender-overland-test/ Off-Road Review: https://expeditionportal.com/2020-defender-overland-test-drive/

I just spent the last week in Namibia with the new Defender. Promise to share details once the driving impressions embargo lifts. . .

Thanks for the feedback. We used the naming conventions that the OEMs apply to the Colorado, Ranger, etc. We have also tried to move a bunch of the recent threads. Please let us know if we missed an important one. Thanks!

Amazing truck

Thanks for sharing the images. That is a beautiful part of Russia. I traveled there in 2010 before crossing into Mongolia.

I have carried guns in Baja... Just need the right paperwork. However, I could really care less. It is their country and their rules. The most stressful situation I have ever encountered in Baja was when the taco stand ran out of shrimp ;)

I typically run a Walther PPS (Gen I). Nice little SS 9mm

I just posted my wrap up article on the home page. Overall, I have been so overwhelmingly happy with this Mercedes. I have now owned it for over 10 years... https://expeditionportal.com/g-wagen-wrap-up/

That is still on my list of "too dos"

That is actually a hell of a deal... Is it currently in AZ?

That is not correct. I found the video in this thread and then reviewed it frame ---- by ---- frame. I test vehicles for a living, and a video like that tells me a lot.

Look for our full editorial on Expedition Portal on September 10th. Wish I could say more :)
