Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged and LR3 tackle offroad terrain

[jpdub45]

wow. the silver one did it without trail tires

[eddieevans12]

Thats not a range rover

[jquarles28]

i think the discovery is a lil better off road than the range but the range is a lil better on road

[IsuruAS]

damn! i'm one of the biggest land rover fans, but it was kinda sad to see the range rover struggle where the disco just walked past at 1:40.

[Shotputter14]

wow gnarly vid dude. big fan of land rovers, and by this one, you made me wanna go bankrupt and not even care cuz i bought a land rover lol.

Really nice post

[hardincountytigers]

Can't wait to get mine!

[67KillBill]

Hi mate - enjoyed the clip.

Was wondering what the music is for the intro => 1st couple of bars before it mixes into another song?

Cheers John

[headleed]

@67KillBill The first tune is "The Pusher" by Steppenwolf

[67KillBill]

@headleed

Thanks mate

[wassupgeo]

you should read your user manual...

from memory it says the max water depth to go in is 30cm deep... anymore and you void warranty/risk drown it.

even with a snorkel you wouldnt be covered, all snorkels these days are advertised as 'cold air/fresh air' intakes, nothing about being 'waterproof'

[TorqueTransfer]

@BAflyer12

Not from the factory, no. The Range Rover in the video is a 2006 model, which means it has open front & rear differentials with a Torsen (torque sensing) limited-slip center differential (LSD). There are no locking differentials on 2003-2006 model Range Rovers. 2007-onward model Range Rovers have a locking center differential (controlled via Terrain Response) with a rear locking differential optional (std on SC models). The driver cannot lock/unlock the differential(s).

[fitchhollister]

Not impressed. 

[RaguelAngelofBalance]

Trail blazing or treading lightly?

[TheBeeeee]

Landrovers are the only S.U.V:s that actually can go offroad, and damn they are good at it to. like you said "isctony" i would like to see a normal suv like a, Merc, or a cadillac do this.

[benardox]

IT DIDNT GET STUCK!

[imlameuknw]

i wanted to to this on weekend.. only thing is.. cant afford to had one rangie..:(

[jdomes]

If was really a video on what land rovers do best, it would be a video about blowing suspension or getting stuck in an inch of snow....I don't know about the LR3 but the range is terrible....

[SCOTTADKINSVSJAI]

Hi! Question: if the water is above the buttom of the door, does it come in?

[headleed]

@SCOTTADKINSVSJAI Water does not come in

[Myuzaki]

LR3's are some tough puppies

[sirtubemaster]

Question: does RR and LR void warranty if you take off road or do they honor it?

[headleed]

@sirtubemaster Land Rover honors the warranty even if you take it off road. I think it would be hyporcritical if they did void the warranty went you went off the road.

[sirtubemaster]

@headleed Thats good news and then worth spending the money. Too many trucks claim off off road but the minute they are off the road and break they wont touch it!

[sirtubemaster]

LMAO "Proper towing cables were brought along in case any Jeep, Hummer etc. were found in a bind." GOOD ONE!!! nice video

[CoonBabble]

any water intrusion?

[traxxasFan101]

is it ok for the exhaust pipes to go under water if so how does it work

[TheMainMan318]

haha i love the description this is definitely a land rover man

[TheNgr123]

@mongrelkharma

Hey cock smoker, have you even driven one. I doubt you've owned one, so quit with the sooky remarks. Land Rovers, Range Rovers are extremely capable. They are reliable contrary to some opinions. Also, many people in the US call them SUV's. WTF? These are serious off roaders and should be treated as such.

[mongrelkharma]

@TheNgr123 sounds like ur trying to justify em to urself.....goodluck with that..."contrary to some opinions" ....ever heard the frase .. how can a million people be wrong?????? ... buy a real car lol ...oh and yes a mate of mine bought a rather expensive one, a voughe or some crap and yes i drove it...didnt change my perception of them .....lmao

[TheNgr123]

@mongrelkharma No, I don't need to justify it. I own one, I am totally happy with it. I have owned 3 so far, plus 2 toyota's. All good vehicles, just all different from each other, but don't kid yourself, they are fucking awsome, go try one and see for yourself. Don't knock it till you try it.

[BAflyer12]

Does anyone know if the Range Rover comes with a locking front differential?

[aliceinchains1256]

it still made it out of the water, even with street tires. impressive, imagine what its capable of with a set of mud terrains

[RMZ280]

what terrain response setting would you use in water???

[ChuddleBuggy]

stock for stock, no german or jap suv could outperform land rovers offroad. I like toyotas for their meticulous craftsmanship and impeccable reliability (not to mention competent offroad performance) but I gotta admit i wish i had the money to buy and maintain a range rover. they aint kidding when they say its the best 4x4 by far.

[wodanowitz]

LOL ..... The german Mercedes G goes places, were a Land Rover never is able to even follow.

[peanuts2105]

The "G" in G Wagon stands for GAY

[bradarel22]

@ChuddleBuggy do you know of toyota land cruiser or sequoia? Have you ever heard about mitsubishi pajero or nissan patrol? May wanna think twice about your comment. People might laugh.

[ChuddleBuggy]

Stock versus stock, no SUV except perhaps for military-purpose vehicles can match offroad performance of the LR Range Rover. You go to a showroom and buy any 1 suv you want and tell me could be better than a L/R Range Rover OFF ROAD. Only the Porsche Cayenne can come close but I've never seen these 2 compared side by side against each other. Until then, I think the R/R is the best offroader.

[tganubis]

@bradarel22 Those don't even compare. A Mercedes G class, on the other hand...

[DevPack]

time for me to consider one of these :)

[Don17p]

bad ass bro nice lr3s r amazin

[nubnubnubnubnub]

range rovers with their ifs, street tires and low ground clearance are clearly not the best offroad truck, get a clue. but you are correct in saying they are more expensive and luxurious. as for the styling, thats objective, i think their kinda girly

[JasonHam41]

@nubnubnubnubnub

to be fair they are still bloddy good even though landrover are making them lower and street tires ect but if you really want the best 4x4xfar then they are still making the good ol' defender.

[isctony]

Land rovers are great! Great to see a range rover being used properly too, I'd like to see an Escalade try this

[edgrano]

@isctony an escalade only will stay there giving shame to all the viewers more i prefer to see a jeep comander that it supposed to do it

[chinkey75]

is that a Bellmont parking sticker on the LR3

[RootsYou]

WOW some buldozers u got there!

[eolovento]

when you pass a ford which is the terrain response correct mode?

[headleed]

I've just got it lifted and in low gear (low half the time anyways).

[eolovento]

yes but the terrain response is on snow? mud? rock? ... exc

[headleed]

Terrain response is on normal

[rangerover06sc]

that explains why the wheels sliped so much when you tried to climb the river bank in the range,you probably would have been best off in rock crawl.Awsome video btw!!!

[headleed]

The range is an '06 so it doesn't have terrain respose...but I didn't have the lr3 set on rock crawl which is a good idea, I'll probably have it on that setting next time. Thanks for the tip

[mscheck]

I was also wondering what height the suspension was on. It looked like the standard height instead of "off road".

[headleed]

The suspension hight is set on high but it's possible that it's set on normal hight an some point in this video (I don't really remember)

[firchk]

Yes a $60K vehicle designed for this type of use ~ great job i have had my LR3 in water up to the windscreen and some very scary rutted trails following and eventually passing the jacked up 4runner i was following ~ he got stuck so pulled him out and went on to complete the trail !! truely amazing vehicles !!!

[WillDaBeast696969]

brilliant...lets take a $60k suv off roading

[patrick5158]

Is the Range Rover a good acceptable off-road vehical? what are your views?

[godzillaisnuclea123]

range rovers are among the very best offroad vehicles better than jeeps and lancruisers and with better luxury and styling its just better but expensive

[polluce74]

Which kind of tires are you using?

[headleed]

Just goodyear street tires. Not sure on the exact tire though

[polluce74]

It's incredible what you can do with this kind of tires.

Great cars.

[bulletnjm]

i wish i could do that with our range rover would be so much fun these cars are amazing how deep do you think the range rover super charged go in wright back

[headleed]

Generally you don't want to go with water above the tires unless you have a snorkel

[oinkinstein]

ok i know its made to be an offroading car but its just too damn beautiful haha

[3boody2000]

Thanx ... Nice video of land rover tank !!!

This suv is true off-roader

[Jimjams8]

Where is the Defender?

[Mehar1996]

LOL

[sukebokk]

I have a question ...

How does the exhaust work underwater? does engine backpressure buildup while underwater? do comment ..

[MrEasyCash]

Like blowing a straw in your glass....

[oinkinstein]

yea the lr3 can go up to its side mirrors in water

[markcoe69]

The ammount of air coming out of it stopr anything going in. I broke down under water once and the exhaust was completely full of water/mud & ance i got out and restarted just gave it a good rev and the water was gushing out of the exhaust by about 30 feet!

[ps3thisisliving]

20 inch rims on the rangie is not good in this vid xD

[beligojvlado]

I love lr3

[mikestein5000]

it is a shame BMW sold Land Rover!!! I don't think TATA can do as good of a job!

[adseybear]

BMW didnt sell it to TATA. Ford bought Jaguar Land Rover of BMW, then sold it to TATA.

Nice vid by the way. Gd to see them doing what they should.

[Snapped01]

land rovers are the best

[LROFFROADdotCOM]

great video!

[sonytampico]

4 inch of soft water ,in any truck easy

[HaHaEntertainmentR]

So...who's better...stock?

[headleed]

Are you asking which is better, the range rover or the lr3?

[HaHaEntertainmentR]

Yeah, their off road ability.

[headleed]

I'd say the Lr3

[Huw444444444]

which is better off road range rover sport or the proper one

[MrEasyCash]

proepr 1,,sport has more power but suspension is stiffer...not what u wont 4wd,,more wheel travel is better...all 4s on ground...

[Mehar1996]

easily the land rover (lr3) is going to be better.. It has always, for the most part, been more based on the off-roading experience, while the range rover has been known to be a more luxurious based vehicle, although it will still perform off road decently.

[HotHeadCJ]

why

[hmackie101]

what tyre are on these rovers

[12345delboy]

landies are the best suv's in the world and the whole of the media knows and says it

[hkyktms]

The Range may have don much better if it had better tires. Cool Vid.

[GuitarOfTheBlues]

its true

[madthekilla]

what song is this?

[headleed]

the artists in this video are:"steppenwolf", "bright black morning light", "medeski scofield martin and wood", and "The Steeldrivers"

[Mieden]

OMG, you weren't nervous? You must know that swamp pretty well. Most of the vid you were one hole away from drowning the vehicles. Nice job! Great vid.

[poloweiwei]

Nothing special...

[skidogallard]

Cool video. Those are some impressive vehicles!
