If you're butt-hurt by watching this vid then it's probably aimed at you. If you really want to know what the new Defender is like, go try one. I'd happily have one for everyday use 😎
I'm guessing your being sponsored on this?
@@bumpkinrocks Nope, I don't do sponsorship. I'll review stuff if I think it's worth reviewing. I support those who help me achieve this but that's it.
It would be great to get a free Defender 😂
The sort of folk that think you need to be sponsored and told what to say are the same sort who would sell their own shit for a fiver.
Fair enough. A well looked after Series IIA skippy with a canvas soft top is a great machine for driving around rocky tracks all day BUT it is not an ideal everyday vehicle. The same goes for Series III and original Defender vehicles. Anyone who has driven a flat windscreen vehicle in the rain at night, will know about headlight dazzle from oncoming traffic; AND as someone who recently changed from driving a solid front axle tipper to one with independent front suspension, I can tell you that not having to deal with bump-steer is a blessing.
Does the roof leak? It's not a proper Land Rover if it doesn't leak.
@@ClarenceFudWeasel you can leave the sunroof open.
The best and honest review I’ve seen yet of the new defender! Commercial 90 looks a great piece of kit.
Best review I’ve seen yet! Old defender boys love to hate them but they will be driving them in the future!
Had mine for for 15months now it’s great, dashboard reminds me of my dads S1 every day (from 45 years ago) when I drop my keys in the pocket beside the instruments.
At last a review from someone that’s owned a few land rovers rather than just spewing out what they have read on facebook or heard down the pub. Can’t wait to see you get one off road mucker
I've got a Defender P400e, very quick, very comfortable, and, feels very special.I think I love it.
The new Defender looks fantastic.
Very interested in seeing the reviews at 100,000 miles.
Yes that will be very telling 😉👍
@@LordMuck If you don't do a 100k & Change Your Vehicles every three years for tax purposes it probably won't effect most Farmers 🤔❓
Got to admit they do look the dogs danglers 👍
That's the best way to run any new vehicle.
33000 miles down and I would only replace it with another one!
was great to hear a review that wasnt scripted i miss my old s3 109 wish i never sold it
I like the comments about accommodating the dog. When we brought our current car the sales manager said it was the first time he had anyone check the dog crate fitted. I think he will remember it for some time.
Essential requirement of any vehicle 👌🏼😎
I like it! Great that the "land rover arm" is not going to be a thing of the past with those very leanable window sills. Like the doggy optional extras too. Particularly the on-board penguin.
Seen one for the first time only last Thursday and have to say I was very impressed. First time ever I was tempted to follow it to get a closer look. Had to check myself "it's not a tractor Tom!"🤦♂️ thanks for doing this review I'd love one. Hopefully loads of people buy them so I'll get a 2nd hand one day. 🙂
The best review so far that I've seen on the new defender, your right people will have to move onto all these new machines taking over. For cattle farmers they are a bit too elaborate, but we're all just going to have to get uses to it. Great video, really enjoying the channel 😊
It's good knowing that most folk understood the review from the angle it was intended. Some keep whining for a simple vehicle but would never buy it if it were offered so their opinion carries no weight with manufacturers. There are so many other viable options to suit a job these days.
I love watching your channel 😉👍
Excellent video which addresses some of the "Possible" whining potential owners.
I am delighted to hear your refreshing thoughts, which in my view, addresses many of the moaning comments. You have to compare apples with apples and not oranges!
Many thanks for presenting the video with relevant commentary.
Good video and good to see landrover finally got the finger out and by the looks of it fixed a lot of the issues the previous series had
It looks like a nice vehicle. You brought up a couple of good points about how things change as we move on in life. I think it's great to preserve the old so we know where we came from and what we used. Let's not kid ourselves, if we didn't like the new stuff, we would still be driving a horse and buggy and have an operator complete our phone calls. A proper vehicle is one that does what it's designed to do efficiently and lasts. It doesn't matter what series it is or whatever. Nice review. I can't afford one, but that doesn't take away from it.
I enjoyed your honest review of the new defender. You make some great points, especially about the vehicle being right for the needs of the individual and the way the defender has evolved. If there hadn't been progress we would still be using the horse and cart.
Love this video couldn't of said it better myself, anyone that hates on the new defender can live in the past miserably but the the technology on the new ones are just unbelievable. Seriously lovely things, I love the old ones to bits and always will but it's time to move on. This new 90 in particular is something to behold. Very worthy of the name defender👍
I have a 2a and a defender 90 and you are right technology has moved on and I’m glad landrover have invested in the future. Hopefully one day I can upgrade but still keep my old ones going like you said respect the heritage great review mucka
I have a normal 110 and spec’d it for work use, deep rubber Matt’s, material seats with covers, no fancy leather or climate in back. Best thing I’ve ever bought! All my tools and crap fit in the back easily, so comfortable to drive it’s sorted out my troublesome back, nothing drives as nice as a LR. It’s a van in the week, and a nice comfortable refined car the wk ends, saved a fortune not having a separate transit for work. And I haven’t had a single problem with it. Nothing else out there like it
Best review I’ve seen on the new defender by far ! I like how you are not afraid to say what the rest of us think. That’s why I’ve followed your channel from the start. Land Rover should give you a defender to try out for a year so the rest of us get a straight talking review.
If I was to review one I'd rather just buy it, that way I can say it how I see it. Mind you, they could offer a discount 😂 I'm just waiting to see if the 130 rumours are true...
@@LordMuck apparently there's a pickup truck that'll be based on the 130 platform so hope that's true.
Thanks for posting LM. Being from Detroit and retiring from the "Blue Oval", it's interesting to see what vehicles are like in other parts of the world are like. I've been fortunate enough to own Ford pickups for the last 40 years. They made so many of them that parts are still very affordable and readily available even in today's world of supply chain problems. LR's look like pretty good workhorses.
Great stuff Kurt and Puppo, two very nice vehicles, They have made a very big step up on them, and totally agree with You on the Auto boxes, it is the way forward, We will all have to come out of the caves at some stage:):):)
As ever Buh you nailed it ,I am a Land rover fan had a few in my time but still got a old defender and I love it.
Does turn a few heads now and again here in austria
You've totally converted me. Its actually the first review on the new defender I've watched. If there's one thing that Land Rover excel at its carrying on the DNA in new vehicles. So many car companies try to go retro and fail, whereas they carry over small details that are unmistakable. I bought my first this year, an L322 Range Rover as my farm hack, and no matter what angle you look from, you see the original classic. I know they sometimes need a bit more love, but life is too short to drive something boring and dependable. Great video 👍, and thanks again for your advice on detroits, in the process of getting her ready to fire up 🙂
Good on ya mucker for saying what tons of us have been thinking. I'm tired of listening to the opinions of those who haven't even driven one !
Good vid bud, iv got the 110 after having countless pickups for work and it blows them all into the wind , we have a timber contracting business so need it to tow trailers when moving kit from site to site and do up too 10 miles of forest road day in day out plus be able to go on a jolly in it and it does exactly that no bother, effortless to drive , comfortable and practical, love mine to bits 👌
I’ve been looking forward to seeing your review of the new defender and I was hoping it would make me want to look at it with my own eyes. I was a real hater of the old defender it’s seating position was the killer for me. Yours is the only review I’ve seen that addresses that issue and made me think it’s time to properly take a look myself. The defender has been on the edge of my radar for a while now. Your review has certainly made me want to test drive it myself when I change my vehicle next year. Cheers mucker for a in-depth review I enjoy your channel 😊👍
Finally, someone who isn't bloody living in the past. As you say, heritage is important but the present is what it is. You are right. Farmers left Land Rover donkey's years ago. I remember the first Subaru Leone pickup being one of the first popular alternatives and that was a car derived pickup with 13 inch wheels or whatever they were. They certainly weren't Land Rover sized wheels with off-road tyres! Most of the people that are lamenting the loss of the old Defender are all the people who didn't bother to buy one and THAT is what really almost killed it off altogether. The other big reason is that it didn't meet modern safety criteria. The third reason is that it was too bloody old fashioned.
👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼😎😎😎 In a nut shell 😉
What a great review - practical and realistic!
never be able to afford one, thanks for showing it to us
Excellent review , looks like a good vehicle. Electronics are usually very reliable these days and they certainly can make life a bit easier.
I still like old classic motors but if you got a long journey to go on a good modern vehicle does it so easy and comfortable. Auto boxes now are brilliant , I've owned a couple of Jeeps and they are just so versatile as are the Landrovers.
Good to hear you're impressed with it LM! I do think those commercial variants in the solid colours do look the business, and a great replacement for the D4 in my eyes - D5 gone too far 'upmarket' for use as a workhorse. The only thing I lament about the loss of the old one, was the 'do anything' platform you could mount pretty much anything onto like MEWPs, sprayers, fire appliances etc... but like you say, the world's moved on and most organisations use dedicated vehicles for a lot of those jobs now.
It’s taken me a while to like the look of them but I’m liking them very much now. It was the same with the new discovery. We’ve always had landrovers on the farm for as long as I can remember. Our first working one many years ago was a 110 hi cap pickup. Great work horses and certainly do work on our farm, especially at lambing time. I remember foot and mouth year as clear as day, we’d got 1500 in lamb ewes all over the county on winter grazing keep and couldn’t bring them home to lamb so we needed an additional vehicle so we borrowed/hired a 130 Land Rover off an old boy we knew well, it was so funny driving it. We called it the hearse. It was pretty useless off road on this particular hilly field on road tyres, god did we struggle with it and got it stuck a couple of times as it was a terribly wet season. Obviously the long wheel base wasn’t helping the job. Old Ron wasn’t impressed with the state it was when he got it back 🤣
I always liked the 130's 😉👌🏼
Most important thing, a nice comfy place for that lovely old dog
Great review and brief history of the landies, I had a series 3 myself.
There are lot more of them appearing on the road here in Ireland. Keeping on trucking Mucker 🚜👍
Without doubt that's the best review I've seen. I am a huge Land Rover fan and daily drive a 110 200tdi, and by my own admission was born 150 years too late. The points you've raised were brilliant and food for thought.
I always preferred my 110's.
Finally someone talkin sence Totally agree with everything you said. I love the old defender but I'd totally buy a new one if I could afford it
I was last night surprised by what your video post would be on , but saw it was on the new defender, I thought this will be very good as I know nothing about these new ones !!!Also , when you said it would be a longer video, even better, good !!! Didn’t disappoint me 👍.Then onto the film, I like the way you do your filming format, your a “what you see, is what you get guy “ no endless crap like on some channels, as your a working guy , you were showing all the practical points & features which are so important to us working men !!!Im probably one of the worst to hide from technology, not for the reason I fear it , mainly you feel utterly powerless to fix things yourself when things go wrong, but as technology has taken over ,, the back up from the dealerships has also kept pace to help out ,Also, how often , really, is machinery breaking down ??? Not that much !!! My group of kubota excavators are all electronic & never break down !!!! I found the video very interesting, rather have a down to earth guy like yourself presenting a review, than a shiney arse suited salesman droning on to get a sale 😩😩😩. Turns out I really liked the vehicle by the end of the show, perhaps my discovery 4 maybe being cleaned up to go now ?????? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Thanks for the video , 👍 👍👍👍
Thank you, much appreciated 😉👍
Excellent sensible review of the practicalities. I come from a long line of RR and Disco and have watched just about every video and review of these since launch. Most are comparing extreme use and there have been some issues ... to be expected. I see it as a practical offroader with Jaguar comfort. No way would you use previous incarnations in a rural setting and then drive to Italy.
I’m on my second discovery and I had range rovers in the past. I’m thinking of up dating soon and I have to say I really like the look of the new defender. I wasn’t a fan of the old one because I always felt cramped in the drivers seat. The new one is definitely worth a test drive. Great video and I didn’t notice how long it was. 🥴😁👍
I can say that the new Defender is an awesome vehicle after today taking one around the Land Rover Experience track at Eastnor Castle.
first decent review of a commercial defender i've seen .. when my works van is due for replacement this is now a serious contender , love the alpine windows .. lets light in but keeps prying eyes out
I'm 37 and never bought anything based on an advert , but ,, I really want one of these !!!!!!!! 10/10 mucker 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
Great video. I used to hate the look of the new defender but over the past year it’s without a doubt one of the best looking vehicles out there. Definitely going to get one when my Disco 4 is worn out.
Well done. One of the first really honest reviews I think I’ve seen. I’ve got a TD5 that I love but am seriously looking at the 90 to replace another vehicle. You have to move on.
Seriously interesting video, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would have a look at the commercial too. They've definitely thought it out for practical use.
However, way out of my price range. 5 years ago I bought a 2008 ranger wildtrak 3ltr turbo diesel, one owner and it was absolutely mint, never even carried anything in the tub. It's been a very good truck and is a good towing vehicle too. She's a little bit harsh on the cart springs but once loaded it's comfortable. It's always maintained and is still rust free.
Love this video and your review. Nice to hear a sensible view. I definitely hope to get one one day. Probably second hand but love this and I have a series 2a 👍
I like it. Can't afford it but I like it.
Thanks.
Be well and stay safe.
That landrover is a cracking bit of kit I've owned 2 rangerovers in my time but never a landy, my old man had a couple of 90s long and short, I love the brand and always will but I'm a nostalgic fella and love anything British! NICE 🦢
MUKKAH!!!
I had to chuckle when you drove through that ford....last time I went through that very watercourse, I was driving my 90 2.5 with my best mate (he'd encouraged me to drive through that route, just for the water) and as I drove through it at a nice pace I was somewhat reminded that I hadn't bolted my floor plate down after fixing something and consequently got a tad wet! My mate didn't stop laughing for a very long time.......!
Glandford was always a favourite of mine. I'll have to go back some time 😉👌🏼
Bout time someone said it! Coming from someone who owns the original or previous models and obviously knows what they are talking about. Great review! I’m gonna hit that subscribe button now:)
Loved the analogy to the bloke with a bucket.... also love the look of the new Defender.
A superb comparison. Love your positive comments. Keep on posting. Best wishes for 2021..
Excellent video mate, like the way you are using a sensible and realistic approach into looking at the features of the old and new versions of the Defender .
"But muh electronics ruin the whole thing" a little fuse or switch going faulty on the gearbox which can be fixed in 2 minuets is quite a bit better instead of taking the whole bloody thing apart and messing around with the gearbox i think.
If people understood the electronics better they wouldn't be so afraid of it. Once you learn the basics it's not so bad, it's just different with a totally different skill set.
Modern stuff mechanically is pretty damn reliable, more so than years past.
I have the 110 D300 and it’s the Mutts nuts , takes on everything on my Devon farm and still gets down the motorway in quiet comfort. As you know they also go like shit off a shovel 🤣
My pet hate is dicks saying it’s not as good as old defender, bet you can’t fix it yourself, farmers won’t like it etc etc. Guarantee they haven’t seen a new tractor up close let alone operate one unless Clarkson was driving it.
Really good to keep hearing from people that actually OWN them 😉👍 as opposed to regurgitating made up Shyte from social media or the results of someone's fear of not driving a vehicle that hasn't been updated for 40 years.
Super video well done very plain speaking and a honest take on what certainly looks like a good modern replacement that's been needed especially the safety factor
Spat my drink out laughing at the rain water on your knee bit 🤣 every landy I've had has done that our current 110 after heavy rain gives you a power shower when you brake heavy 😄
You're right. It's a 2021 car but with hints of it's history. I'm old enough to remember the first Discovery coming out and people slated it just like you said. I think a commercial version of this Defender will be very useful on many farms.
i love all the old and new defenders and with u looking at them in a bit of depth i really want one
Was just looking at one the other day nice bit of kit easy clean simple layout
Thanks for showing new Defender 90, I have always had automatic transmission as driving Ford Ranger manual all day, I get crook leg unlike my Nissan D40 auto, hate changing gears. When I look to upgrade I look for features that make my job been efficient, n you wouldn’t believe how much I save in fuel, time n MONEY having right vehicle. Great review Mucka👍
Great report on the new car Kurt. Nicely done.
Triggers broom 😂😂😂😂 I atchully took the time to email landrover and tell them how great this video is !! 👌👌👌👌
Great vidj nice landie im a Cummins’s man myself proper truck engine ✊✊✊✊✊✊✊👍🏴☠️😎🇬🇧
Best review I've seen no car journalists crap you are spot on,how many tractor drivers would give up their MF 7720S and go back to an MF165 or a NH T7 back to a FORD 5000
Banging vidya!! So professional 👌
Firstly a confession, I too was a re moaner, I moaned and said it's not a 'proper land rover' however I went to the local dealer a few months back and I was mightily impressed. It had a utilitarian feel but at the same time a level of comfort far superior to the old land rover. Will there be a crew cab pick up version in the future? My main issue is justifying the price compared to a Japanese pick up and at the moment for me the numbers don't stack up. I will be in the market next year for a new truck so definitely a vehicle I'll test drive.
Yes, as I said it depends on what your budget and requirements are. There are rumours of a 130 and a crew cab pick up.
@@LordMuck crew cab would be ideal, we used to have 130's at work with cherry pickers on the back. They changed to Isuzu DMAX when land rover stopped making them be interesting to see if they ever get to the stage where you could do that again
Great video as always and it looks like a cracking bit of kit, especially if you're doing the sort of mileage that you do.
I appreciate your objective view of the defender, it is new and different from the earlier models but that's life. I like the commercial model and i think that would prove to be a very practical all round vehicle. I probably would not want to get too far from a service centre but that is a personal view. My days of roaming the countryside in a 2A are definitely over.
I LOVE my 90. 1985
Got almost 11k on my '22 D90 S P300, absolutely love it here in the U.S., and only very small issues here and there, but all sorted.
That's good to hear 👍
by far this is the best defender 90 review, I have heard on youtube ! Thank you ! one question how is the fuel economy on these ?
Obviously depends on what you're doing but they're not thirsty.
The only problem with any modern vehicle is who can fix it when its computer sensors and technical bits break down ? And who can afford to buy them in first place.
Didn’t realise you were so close if that’s the dealership I think it is 👍👍👍👍👍
Loved my defender run it for 12 years no real problems apart from cutting out
in the fast lane of the M6 due to wiring loom rubbing through earthing out and stopping
the engine, which was entertaining 🙄 and water leaking in round tops of doors, also
Having to open doors to change gear. But it was a great vehicle. I agree with you the new
One is the way forward, enjoyed the video cheers 👍🚜
Spot on mucker great review on the new Landys very informative 👍
Great review and a lot of wise words
I have a TD5 90 I fully apreachiate the task LR had in bringing this vehicle to the market and the heritage wonderful review I am Converted.
Superb vid mate. Been waiting a while for this. Brilliant un biased as usual. Looks like an amazing machine. Of course the star of the vid was your dog! 👏👏👏
Brilliant as usual mate. Only watched 4 minutes getting a beer and some crisps. Let you know what I think later 👍 Superb
The only thing that lets them down is the price really!
My 110 was ex demo 3000 miles so a lump off for that from new plus I could reclaim the vat on it which made it very much viable for me , I know the prices have shot up in the six months since I bought mine though
Don't think I would turn my nose up at one. I like the look of the commercial it looks tuff enough to do the job. 👍
who remembers sitting on the metal sides in the back of an old landy .. being chucked around while going to the fields
And thinking somethings exploded when a stone gets flicked off the tyre
@@LordMuck haha indeed .. George was on about you doing a vid together . hopefully soon hey
Good to see an impartial review.
Great video. the new defender looks amazing. Personally I would have preferred a new name for the new vehicle but its still an great vehicle.
Just sitting at Toronto Airport 🤪 to fly home for the first time in 2yrs, made me laugh so much reminding me of my old TD5 with the wet leg 😀😀👍👍
I'm sat here waiting to get the green light to fly to the States 😂
But but but it’s not a series or defender unless you get a wet right foot when it rains . Great review
I think the new Commercial looks so much better that any of the other versions that have black bonnets, black wheels, tinted windows etc. I don’t want something that looks like it will be performing a “Drive-By”! I had two old 90’s. One was a V8 Efi (converted) with a roll cane etc. The next was the old Turbo D. Not TDi. This one got rolled end over end. I have a love hate relationship with the 90’s. I think they are great but hate everthing about them. 😉
Spoken like a true Land Rover owner 😎😉
Must admit I didn’t like them too much when they first came out, for some of the reasons you mentioned but the more I see them and hear what there like it’s growing on me🤔
May have to pop to my local dealer to take a look👍
I think they put a lot of us off before it was even built with those bloody concept cars.
It will be really interesting to compare the new Defender with the Ineos Grenadier when it eventually comes on sale
Great video as always. Thanks for showing them to us 👍
Nice one kurt, nice vid very well explained , progress ain't a bad thing, at least if your tall you can fit in one. 😉 👍
The last brand new defender I bought was in 97, a 300tdi….. Cost £13500. Best motor Ive ever owned.
And yeah I’m turning into Victor Meldrew as I get older, But I’m gonna rattle around in my 1979 series 3 just because I’m to mardy to embrace the future. Good vid.! 👍
I enjoy my Series 3 these days.
@@LordMuck thanks for the reply…..
I sent a message to Elon Musk a week ago about HGV power generation and he ain’t got back to me yet.!! I might unfriend him…. Haha!
I've got to say I like the new Defender. Yes I was a bit unsure when I first saw it but land rover have to move with the times and it looks a practical vehicle. Great film as usual enjoyed it.
Learnt to drive in series 3 Landy.........love the old and the new one
Really love the new Defender and hoping to get a 90 in the States.
What are the specs on this version here?
Also, what size wheel/tire combo? It looks like a proper tire with practical sidewall. Much better than the city versions with no sidewall shown on most videos.
Thank you for such a solid and straightforward review. Telling it how it is and really helping me rationalise getting one of these!
There are various wheel/tyre combinations and different ones I think for North America 👍
Like the look of the new defenders just modernised them for the next generation
Great video 👍👍 A proper review in your own unique style 😂😂
Brilliant as always, I drive a disco 5 excellent machine.👍
It's a lovely looking vehicle Damien 👌🏼
Mucker, take us along to the Eastnor Castle finals early 2022 for the Defender Trophy 🏆 contest. We saps here in the 🇺🇸 don't get diesel models. Just $50,ooo.oo to $106.ooo.oo up to 500+HP models😮🤣👎. Good review, dog seems to dig it🦴.✌️👍🍺
Great vid, love the new comercial version.
