This is what a stock 03 Land Rover can do against a stock Jeep. Of particular note is the Land Rover here in question is running on low profile street tires and on top of that the transfer case in the Land Rover is an open transfer case making the Land Rover a truly all-wheel-drive only vehicle. The Jeep got beat by an all-wheel-drive vehicle not a 4x4. To be a 4x4 the Land Rover would have to have a locking transfer case like the Jeep. In 04 the LR went to a locking transfer case and 4x4.

@jeffro0502 Finally someone knows about AWD and 4x4 !!!!! Thats exctly how it is my friend!!!!!!

@jeffro0502 you're not explaining it right. There is no such thing as an "open transfer case". The difference between an AWD set up and a 4x4 set up is a differential. AWD cars have a center differential instead of a transfer case. This allows the front and rear tires to move at different speeds so that the drivetrain doesn't experience warping when driving on pavement. You're entire argument is also entirely wrong also. The LR has a locking center diff. It's the same as the jeep when locked.

@TopGearFan92 O3 discoverys come with a transfer case but land rover eliminate the link to engage the 4x4, so from 2001 to 2003 all discoverys are AWD..... For discos owners, there's an eazy up-grade to convert this AWD to 4x4.

Only way to settle the big "Landrover v's Jeep" dispute is to have a face off between a standard and unmodified Landrover Defender and a standard and unmodified Jeep. send them both over a challenging off road course or two and see who comes out on top. My moneys on the Defender personally.

[saturbo1107]

@tdci160 Imagin if an lr suv beat a jeep, A land rover defendef its even more capable. To beging with the, Defender comes wit a long travel suspetion and PLUS the all come with a 3 link suspention in the back wich alaud them used that Suspention in serius terrains, also the come with """"Adjustable traction control"""" Like any LR today or RR... Greate departure angle, Plus This truck is made in aluminum wich makes the truck super light. Not to mention a 4.6 V-8 Eng with 325 lbs torque......

[usmc1stin100]

well, then put a rubicon against it. seems about fair. and most lr/rr come with front and rear arb lockers

[thunderingherd21]

@Xrobnunez24 The driver has a HUGE impact on the vehicle...they don't drive them selves...If the guy in the Jeep would hit that obstacle with a little more momentum he would have cleared it no problem. Another thing to state.. MOST people who buy Land Rovers wouldn't dream of getting their "toy" dirty. Not all but most. Same with Hummers (H2) Jeep is the best out there because they're cheaper to manufacture than LR's and H2's and they are more capable off the assembly line.

[beaglemanzzz]

Give the jeep some lockers and it would be twice as capable as the land rover.

bigdreamer66 What a hay name and land rovers are the best jeeps cant go anywhere its not the driver is the car

[waqasali037]

land rover is the best



[bigdreamer66]

Jeeps can go anywhere...... but not all drivers can.

@tdci160 - I agree bit with 1 caveat ... they must have the SAME driver. It's time people stop praising just the vehicle & realize that driver ability & a knowledge of your vehicle makes a world of difference in any challenge.

he has no idea of off road

[JinxanatorF22]

@saturbo1107 simply lacking the ability to lock the central differential doesn't make it an AWD. you also have to consider the fact that even those model disco's are in permanent 4WD mode, and they have the low range function, which no AWD vehicle has. if anything, its somewhere in the middle
