Lucky8 will reportedly offer rock sliders at launch. They've already confirmed they are working on them but will probably need some early adopters to validate fitment.

The designer designed something that looks different than its predecessor. The engineers engineered something that clearly works better than its predecessor. Porsche did the same thing with the 911 in 1988 and the purists hated it, but Porsche still builds the best and best selling sports cars...

Have you missed the several videos that have already been posted? Oh, no, I forgot, those were produced and directed by the zombies who faked the moon landing. :rolleyes: ? :ROFLMAO:

The track where you see ladders, off-camber transitions over concrete rollers and the like are common test courses that allow automakers to tune things like traction control, suspension performance, throttle mapping, etc under controlled, repeatable conditions. Much like a closed track for road...

The mud comes down to tires...while the Wrangler All Terrain Adventure tires are great on loose rock, gravel, dirt the tread is too tight for the slick peanut butter mud they were in...you can see the tread didn't clear when they were spinning the tires. The optional DuraTracs would have done...

Hmm...maybe a Defender SVX in the works, since the Discovery SVX was canceled? https://www.autoblog.com/2020/04/24/land-rover-defender-spied-v8-engine

The Discovery was designed in the Ford years; the supply contract for the Si6 is up, and the contract for the Td6 Lion engine is about to expire as well, hence the need to develop the Ingenium line. The Ingeniums have/are being offered in non-NAS spec D5s starting with MY2019, the Td4 / D240...

There's a new system embedded within it, which cross-links the airbags for additional leveling and, as others have pointed out, the ability to replicate performance of a solid axle. Additionally, the system has an extra reserve of negative travel even at full Extended ride height, so it's a...

LOL, it's funny - in one thread, he argues that Land Rovers are barely good enough for perfectly manicured press shoots, and here he argues that *it's just no fun anymore* because Land Rovers are too capable... ???

Fine, "not enough" people would buy them. I don't think you understand how certification regimes work or the economics of vehicle production. Land Rover doesn't just certify the Land Rover Defender once. They have to do it separately for every configuration of engine, transmission, and body...

OBTW, this is what I get to when I try configure a Rubicon Recon. I'm not even done yet - was hoping to option in the new EcoDiesel, but there's no way to do that. Skipped all the extra cost paint and interior options other than the infotainment.

Who cares if you never have to replace them? Land Rover won't offer one, but it would be awesome if it did. Certainly, but nobody would buy one, and then Land Rover would go out of business.

Ok, let's start with your desires. 280hp NA 6cylinder engine. They're giving you 300hp in a turbo 4 that's more powerful and more fuel efficient and works better in all conditions - in fact, just idling in my driveway I'm down about 18% from that NA 280hp, but I'd still have every one of those...

Jaguar offers a fantastic warranty in the US...my local sales manager says Land Rover sales (specifically the Evoque and RRS) have been financing that. That warranty was offered in the US because Jaguar needed to show they stood by their product in order to increase sales. If the Defender...

And today there are far stricter emissions and crash safety and CAFE standards and all that. Small automakers like JLR have to build world cars, they can't afford to tailor vehicles to tiny niche markets like the 500 people in the US who don't want a Wrangler but who want an old Defender on...

Yes, that's why its here.

Volume has three dimensions. Diameter is just one.

That comes down to carcass and tread design as much as physical dimensions. You can't air down a 70-series passenger car tire and expect the same performance as airing down a 55-series AT. You will likely destroy the car tire whereas the AT will be fine. Again, if you're hard-core rock...

Buy a Mahindra Roxor.
