LR3

[TorqueTransfer]

@ropoly

Wrong.

2005-2009 Discovery 3/LR3 and 2010- Discovery 4/LR4 have open front & rear differentials standard, using 4-wheel ABS braking to transfer torque side-to-side. A infinitely-variable electronic locking center differential is standard, to transfer torque front-to-rear, and is controlled by Terrain Response, the driver cannot lock/unlock the center differential at will. An electronic locking rear differential is optional, and if equipped, is also controlled by Terrain Response.

@TorqueTransfer all lr3's and lr4's come with lockers base model

[KevoRidesFit]

i like these trucks

[derrickoman]

With directional street tires the proper technique for muddy terrrain is to spin them fast which will clean out the lugs and abruptly let off the gas, this will let the cleaned out tread get a good bite, then you ease the throttle being careful not to spin the tires. I have Maxxis Marauders on my 04 Disco II and cannot wait until they wear out so I can get a proper AT.

[sirtubemaster]

IF you cant take the criticism then should not post a video.......

[Thrillphene]

Very nice video. If you had proper tires on there you would've done MUCH better. I also have streets on my LR3 but have the '08 model :) Best SUV in the world IMO.

[richardpowelly]

im with davyjhones on this. tires are the big decider. I have a disco 3 and my rear tires ar scorpions but very low and my fron are new but the tread pattern is like something on a sports car. In the now it was bad, all over the place. I also do off roading with a kitted disco 1 but that never stops at nothing. Mud snow rocks. No probs. driver error is some cases yes but tires are the biggy

Just my thoughts anyway

[davyjhones]

i dn't get how they can justify saying we make thebest 4X4's in the world and then send all their cars from the factory with road tyres.a 4X4 is meant to be a car that can go anywhere any time not (oh i can't possibly ford that little stream because i don't have my all terrain tyres on). just yesterday after it snowed here in norwich me nd mymum were gliding along happily in our disco II with all terrains on and the number of disco's flailing aound on the ice cuz of road tyres was embarrasing

[xrayboy1052]

You can't tell from this video but those are the road tires slick as can be, and look what they do. It seems the people flailing around on the ice lack the necessary skill.

[davyjhones]

yeah it might have had something to do with the fact they were all mums using them as alternative people carriers

[KevoRidesFit]

@davyjhones everything is gonna be alright.

[counterclockwise123]

@davyjhones A sad fact is that very few people take their Land Rovers off road and that is probably the reason they come with road tires.

[Warfa1r]

А едет то он отстойно!!! :( всё, легенда умерла:(

[iENJOIskating209]

the problem are the tires.i also have street tires on my disco 2 and it is a fail to go through deep mud.look at my video.were stuck for 2 hours.upgrade to some a/t's

[xrayboy1052]

I don't see any problem here. The tires on the truck in this video are slick factory tires. Maybe you need to consider pilot error with your 2 hours stuck in the mud?

[sirtubemaster]

@xrayboy1052 boy you sure dont take comments very well! very defensive! peeps just making observations no need to get mean about it.....

[cgrojas]

Subaru Forester is also an amazing Offroad

[dub19992]

foresters are shit off road

[bluestudio67]

Why Land Rover hasn't figured out that there are great off-road tires of the same size that also ride extremely well on the highway? I'd definitely upgrade if I planned on tackling mud like this. It'd be a whole different beast. :)

[sorryociffer]

No kidding, a set of BFG All Terrain KOs on a land rover would be a relatively quiet, almost unstoppable combo...

[0thingthing0]

because more than half of their customers will never take their car offroad. dealers would probably offer all terrain tyres but at a premium over buying them yourself

[0thingthing0]

the only cars i know of that come packaged from the factory with LIGHT all terrain tyres are base model defenders and base toyota 75-79 series. the top models have highway tyres

[driftnut56]

haha that guy in the background was saying "so we've found out what the LR3 has problems with" then it gets out! lol

[gokududs]

as strong as abull

[LROFFROADdotCOM]

I like this video a lot, it's nice to see an LR3 going through some good terrain! Great vid I hope to see more!!

[zashima]

people seem to think that just because landrovers are developed to be capable off-roaders, the driver could just turn a knob and stomp on the gas. regardless of how capable a vehicle is, it will go to waste on an unexperienced driver.

love the lr3 and i really, honestly think it's a great car.

[bujanda01]

fuking SUV  ... we took it 2 times off roading and 1 of the back Axel's broke and now we are having real bad problems with the hand break , and now they void my suspension warranty . they sell you an off road vehicle , but if you take it off road they will void the warranty

[adpreston123]

straight from the dealer, the disco wins over the defender but the defender can be customized so much easier. still cant decide which i would rather have

[ropoly]

go for defender !

[hkyktms]

awesome vehicles. were the diff locks engaged?

[ropoly]

this suv has no diff locks ... it has a limited sip diff ... a part of the Terrain Response system

[0thingthing0]

actually it has a centre diff lock and an optional rear diff lock. land rover does not use limited slip diffs for some reason. they have traction control instead but i don't see why they can't have both

[ropoly]

LR 2 has central and rear diff lock ..

LR 3 totally different car .. totally different transmission and 4wd system

[zemmba]

brate land rover nigdje ne staje

[goped11294]

ha yeah right defenders suck the lr3's r the best for for offroading

[LandroverDefender110]

yeah....if you think this is offroading then you should see a landrover defender offroading! Your LR3 can´t bet a defender in offroading!

[LROFFROADdotCOM]

I would like to see an LR3 and Defender go side by side with a stock set-uo and MT Tyres, I think both vehicles are incredible, but the LR3 has lockers stock and excellent articulation, although it is considerably larger. I'm not saying one is better than the other, but I would like to see the same driver drive both and see what does better:)

[braydenmartindale]

@LandroverDefender110 A Defender won't get you there as luxurious as a LR3 though, I drive a LR3 as a daily driver because it's so solid in there cold, harsh Canadian Winters, when I want to go through some harsh 4x4 my Lr3 can't handle, I use a 110 Defender. But I'll tell you, my back hurts like crazy after driving the defender..

[extremewalk]

seems like Disco3 is worth investment. I wonder if Defender might be a bit better for taft off road enviroment. I need to find that kind of challange around.

[macthemec]

I'd love a LR3, they are fantastic offroad.

as far as tires, what do you guys use? everyone always seems to say BFG all terrains are the cats ass, but my work truck has those and it always get stuck.

[0MGS0S]

Did you watch the video ??

[macthemec]

yes I did. are you meaning you think the car performed poorly?

[zytekfan]

mount BFGs on an LR3 ;)

[offtocrazyland]

this vid proves tht land rover build the best 4x4

[BeeABaw]

a britsh ford explore lol

[djcadi]

pringau

[alexrex20]

haha, should've put some decent tires on it before taking it in the heavy stuff. as great as the LR3 is, it's only as good as its rubber...

[rickd248]

I traded in a fully equipped Wrangler (lockers and all), for my LR3 and I haven't looked back. I go 4 wheeling just as often and in even rougher places. Is built like a tank, but handles like a sports car.

[FoxRS]

i have a LR Discovery 1 and it's wonderful as an all terrain vehicle.. it goes everywhere, i think it's best at it than this Discovery 3

[ballerwoody]

I have A Range and I Love it! I got videos!

[zoloba380]

i have a lr3 and its greAT ILOVE GOING offroad with it but everyone says there overrated

[pikomhoog13]

we have a land rover discovery 3 and its awsome its called the best offraod car of the world:p

[sixstringsniper922]

land rovers are beasts' i dont care what anyone says to pull tha shit they pull with mild offroad tires or maybe even street tire and 20" rims then go wash off and be featured as some rappers pride and joy while sittin next to a lambo. im sorry im really a ford man but rovers got my vote on built tuff

[rgrab]

I would disagree with hockeyroks4ever. Land Rovers have earned their reputation over the past 60 something odd years. I don't think Jeep can boast about being the first vehicle that most people in developing countries have ever seen, nor can it claim to be the best when it comes to off-road. I'd like to see a Wrangler with terrain-response, full-time 4WD, or be able to complete the renowned Camel Trophy contest or famed Paris to Dakar rally race. Till then

I'm sticking with my trusty Rover.

[floorit001]

nicely said

[briant2828]

amen to that lol

[hockeyroks4ever]

Land rovers are over-rated go with a Jeep

[neiliscool]

I would agree with you if you are tight on money, but the lr gives you luxury that jeeps don'e have. The only jeep I would consider would be a wrnagler considering the rest can't do anything off-road.

[tuffys88fiero]

Wrangler

[rangerover06sc]

range rover supecharged

[joecolen]

Land rovers arn't ,made like they used to, i have a few of them though. lol

[Reverseflush]

is anything really

[Reverseflush]

is any thing really?

[rgrab]

My old Disco II could whoop this Disco III's arse off-road anyday. And what the bloody hell are you doing using all-season tyres? Get some proper mud/snow tyres mate.

[jlanuez]

That's the problem. I just replaced the original 18" GY Wrangler HPs for GY Wrangler Slient Armors - huge difference on our 06' LR3 SE !

[fattmatt66]

the low-profile all season's don't help the cause

[hkyktms]

Not bad at all for ole LR

[Z14LDO]

did ford screw up some of the disco off road capabilities?

[rangerover06sc]

not really they just made it easyer

[mrpunklion]

gotta love the lr3

[pilatus5000]

not bad for a grocery getter on street tires

[westburysteve]

Nice one!!! Keep up!!! Buddy!!!

[reconredfox54]

Are those Illinois plates?

[picka313]

cool

how many hp ?

[chrisgman92]

this car will climb over anything you put in front of it! proud to be an owner of an LR3 V8 HSE

[rangerover06sc]

nice

[fitch12345]

Eh!!! My discovery SD can still beat the new LR3.

[napogomez87]

great even on street tires, im glad i have one

[nickdoof]

Not too impressive?! That thing was stock with street tires and still absolutely dominating some tough terrain, that's amazing imo!

[tractorlandoverboat]

land rovers are the best

[tomge10]

COOL ///////////

[celticwomanboy]

this car is awesome!!!

[guilhermelmm]

o de cima é gay

[buganwille]

this car is amazing! 5 stars

[scoobystu]

not the most impressive car is it ???

[calvinyuenblinke]

Yeah it is if it's a HSE v8..and if he had the modes . like max suspension and stuff..

[ruuman]

For road tires that looks pretty dam good to me

[lukeallen]

hes on road tyres mate...
