I think it looks hot.

well then maybe it was the driver's problem, not the car's. because i know a unimog can't be stopped. especially not in a 4x4 park in america. and i'm sorry, but you really don't know what you're talking about when it comes to a range rover. granted a wrangler is good off road, but the range rover is good everywhere.

fake

and u say i dont know what im talking about..the curb weight of the range rover III is 5,665 lbs and the wrangler is 3782 lbs.. :O 2000 lbs less.. who wouldve guessed,.., the range rover III has 282HP and325 lbs of torque. the jeep has 202HP and 278lbs of torque.. THATS A LOT for a 3700lb vehicle.. the jeep is faster, better acceleration and is way stronger than a rover.. in a tug o war the rover would win.. up a hill, the jeep

yeah i love the lr3 though dont get me wrong. i would for sure buy one if i wasnt 17 and could afford it. i bought an 01 diso instead. gets the job done.

it never got stuck. we were on a steep sand hill and it was to heavy to make it all the way up and our jeep made it almost the whole way, and the range rovers dont have enough power to weight to make it anywhere in soft ground. there meant for pavement

[coolerdude44]

if you're referring to the old one, it was. european models got a ride control system similar to the mercedes s-class, so it handled well. but they never give the americans such technology, so the old one handled like a boat.

[coolerdude44]

i seriously doubt that a unimog got stuck. and there is no vehicle that is better than a range rover. what other vehicle do you know of that has a rolls-royce-esque interior,decent practicality, handles like a small sedan, has 400 horsepower, and can go extreme off-roading better than any other car, all for under $100,000?

there really isn't anything that comes close to it. your jeep needs to be modified to keep up.

lol..im srry if ur a land rover guy, but land rovers and range rovers are for grass feilds and dirt roads. NOT offroad tracks or 4x4 parks. trust me ive seen a land rover in a 4x4 park near my house and my jeep pwns everything there. we have even beat a unimog on the trails. but our jeep has a 4" lift on it
