when it was stuck why didnt the back wheels kick in and push it?

See previous comment: "...need to be at about 1500 rpm for the power transfer to kick in"

Seems like something was wrong. maybe driver talent or the weather or just the comps. but it took the vehicle alot longer to transfer power compared to other LR2's ive seen. Oh well it still made it through at the end of it although low range would be nice

[bproulx05]

We were experimenting for the first time how to drive the vehicule in a trail. The instructor was also teaching us how to drive with a foot on the gaz and a foot on the break which is not that easy when you're used to drive standard.

The terrain response was set to "Gravel/Snow". The transfer of power only happens at about 1500 RPM.

Why would the instructor teach you to drive with a foot on each pedal? I thought that cancels out traction control or at least make it work differently. I thought you were supposed to just mash the gas and keep the revs low and let TR do the rest? Also Why was the TR set to Gravel/ snow. looks like mud/ruts would be used. you made it through which is all that counts. check out the vid: Terrain response mode, its interesting.

[bproulx05]

Having a foot on each pedal give you more control. When the power transfer to the wheels happens, the car may goes forward fast enough (remember to need to be at about 1500 rpm for the power transfer to kick in). Having a foot on the break at the same time gives you a quicker response. In a trail, a quick response time on the break pedal can save you from hitting a tree or wreck the truck.

[bproulx05]

We were set on Gravel/Snow because the base of the terrain was very hard. It's best for when the surface is not stable.

Is that a 4x4 Landy ? To me it looks more like a toy

[chispaculpable343]

damm that looks so fun : )

[Starbucksandgasoline]

@GingerBunny82 Oh yeah, I think in that case it would be great.

[GingerBunny82]

@Starbucksandgasoline - I agree with you that Land Rovers are expensive, however surely a second hand defender or discovery would be fairly cheap and provide a good amount of off-roading fun?

[dopicitu]

This is automat?

[dopicitu]

This is automatic gearbox ?

[Starbucksandgasoline]

In all Rover off-road videos I've seen, there is a spotter or instructor ordering the drivers every move. Rovers seem to perform very well in these videos, but I wonder: if just some regular guy wants to take one on a trail and have some fun, will it make it? Without all the specially designed pot-holes and rocks? I think a jeep would be more forgiving in taking a beating, and cost of repairs for the average person.

Ok, i have nothing against land rover. if i had 40,000 to just blow i would get one. but there is no chance in hell i would take it off road. it is just not worth it. between the open diff, heafty repar bill and the small amount of travel plus they get stuck in mud a lot it is just not good off road. i have done a lot more in my 97 chevy blazer with 200,000 miles and was only about 3,000. they are nice but not for off road. sorry land rover but your roaming days are over.
