New Great Divide Expedition Range Rover!?

[Tohelluride]

Saw this tonight, in telluride, on my way to dinner. A reboot of a "classic?"

Yes. They are redoing it in new RRs.

If I lived in the area, I'd go talk with em or at least annoy them with the smell of the 109.

I love the winch bumper and roof rack, looks great!

Do those wheels even have tires on them? It is hard to tell in the picture.

Apparently rappers are scaling mountains these days

Ford also has a new great divide model!

Why do I have this feeling that the above RR Great Divide (circa 2015), Discovery Sport and Grylls are coming together as a marketing campaign ...............

Accessories added as needed per "Adventure"

You can do one of their adventure drives along the divide in one of their vehicles. Of course they are going to add a few things.

Now there is the hidden beauty of the new GDE Rangie. With the extra room of the LWB version plus all the electronic traction aids one no longer needs to be bothered with mundane items like roof racks and winches. Those are just so 90s....

The new Range Rover platform is very capable off road (first hand experience) and it will have no problem completing this journey.

Sure its not quite the same as the clanky old classics doing it back in '91, but in modern day context everything that Land Rover is doing as a car manufacturer is pretty cool. Empty Quarter Crossing with the Sport, Trans America Trail with the LR4, Silk Road with the Range Rover, now Great Divide with the Range Rover...

Agree or disagree with the design of the current vehicles, that is an impressive list of achievements (especially considering it has all been within the last 12 months.

For years Land Rover enthusiasts asked for the brand to return to its roots - is this not a representation of that?

it will have no problem completing this journey

as long as it is the same journey and not just parts.

also feel the new products are capable, yet, my "clanky old" 1994 RRC LWB could follow the original journey without any problems.

it would be interesting to see if 20 years from now the current model would be able to do the same.

Am I mistaken or is the fact that it is only part of the original trip due to land access and portions becoming more modern?

We need video of it going down Black Bear Pass. With passenger commentary as it is happening.
