Throttle House has the intro, Extra Throttle House has the cliff hanger.
The endings on extra channel are always so good
And unexpected
Why? Are you happy it's over? 🤣
@@alunesh12345 Absolutely.
2 doors Defender with front bench seats should be the craziest configuration in SUV history
Yeah, a 2 door SUV that can theoretically seat six people. Sounds crazy.
yeah but youd lose the Boss personal seat style bc the driving seat would no longer be Your Boss seat
@@damilolaakanniit’s also a wide configuration inside is it probably can fit 6 people 😂
We definitely need a bronco vs defender vs wrangler video when the bronco comes out
The bronco would/might come last
vs 4Runner
@@sorrowfulsatchel679 Sure, after the 2 door head 2 head though.
Having seen the Bronco itself, the Bronco would likely be more reliable, come out on top, and be cheaper!
@@gregpenetrante5734 Yes true, Bronco is looking a little more capable then the wrangler so far
James strengths: numbers, facial expressions, pronunciation, denim shirts.
Weakness: syntax
I have the same Levi’s one from the G70 video. Claim to fame.
The last strength…on the main channel of course: “AND I’M JAMES.”
and he can be referred to as "daddy"
“…stuck a fork up your-“
*end*
God I love these extra videos
“Maybe if they put some more electronics back there it would actually work properly” 💀💀
Most underrated funny comment in the entire video! He threw that in there so subtlety
Half the time, the sensors and cameras don't activate in my parents 2018 Range Rover Sport. For being over $100k the car's electronic reliability is complete shite compared against my Honda Civic.
@@admiralprestoncole Reliability is horrible across the range and the customer service is bad.
@@anugranmathimugan2778 service depends on the dealership. Dependability is consistent - it's bad across the board.
The 90 looks so much better than the 110. I can actually see where they got the inspiration from the original one. Imagine configuring this one with the steelies and bench seat.
You drove the heck out of that mound guys bravo
7:28 in case anyone is wondering the defender 110 weighs exactly 335 lb more than the Defender 90.
Best starts on the main channel, best endings on the extra channel.
You guys are killing it!
The land rover defender intro of the older video is in my top 5 favourite intros. Now I have to watch it again😅
You guys just rock!
It'd be cool to learn more about the history of your track and how you guys came across it.
I’ve been wanting to know that as well!
Popular track where they live. You can see it in the Speed Academy videos. Thomas was a track instructor at the race school there (Pinnacle?).
Damn back to back keep it up!!!!!
This is a top tier mall crawler, not quite a G-Wagon but still quite up there.
Doesn't matter who buys them, just matters that they deliver and sell
I’ve changed and accepted it and my family has had 4 defenders spanning from 1997 - 2016 model year with one currently. It’s cool this thing
Whoever disliked this needs to get their head checked. This was amazing keep it up guys
Thomas' cat, still not forgiving him for the thing with the fork
Look at the car's design, it literally has nothing in common with the iconic Defender which would be the only thing that could balance things out, given the car's awful reliability, especially now that it is stuffed with electronics... Also, have a read here: www.edmunds.com/land-rover/defender/2020/consumer-reviews/?rating=1
@@mariosac130 I couldn't care less what the Defender looks like an old Jeep CJ walks all over the old tractor and can actually travel highway speed and on the modern side the JL Wrangler and the new Bronco are twice as capable as both sizes of new Defender and they have manual options, huge aftermarket support, and are more rugged with just as cool heritage and charm but for half the price. The detail of the review and the fun nature that Thomas and James show is what made me like this video so much
@@MrLlama-rc8nj I agree with you man, I have a JL Wrangler, that thing is a beast of a car!
@@mariosac130 I have a JKU Recon Edition and for about 45k all in it has 35s, raptor liner paint, trail doors and a soft top, and twice the capability of any new Defender and just as much for the old but with an even more special charm to it
I love how you guys end these videos, always makes me chuckle :)
Waitttt....let's talk about this fork.
You guys are killing it and I'm loving that you're getting opportunities to drive some SERIOUS vehicles.
Production quality is right where it needs to be. Don't change.
ONG your second channel better than A LOT of car channels that do it full time
Awesome review... The ending caught me off gaurd 😂😂😂
U guys are the best!
I really needed this grassy relaxing experience after foolishly searching prices of Viper ACR’s on AT......😱
I loved the video, but I wish you tested the back seats and showed the trunk in comparison with the 110. Keep up the good work guys🙏🏼
I’m 100% okay with this defender as it’s better in approach and exit angles, more technologically advanced, WAYY more comfortable to sit and drive in, and very very good looking
thank you for doing these
Great video,, I like these small landies
WHERE DID THOMAS STICK THE FORK?!?! I NEED TO KNOW hahahaha love all the throttle house channels
Thomas strengths: driving, car capability descriptions, hair, laughing.
Weakness: a boot
I always laugh at the end of TH Extra videos.
W12 Bentley smooth is a big praise! Wanna drive this soon.
that mound is a solid 8/10. good mound.
8:03 I like when Thomas hears BMI and his brain goes: There is a W 330 missing between M and I
Thanks for the Info
Love this colour
I’ll be honest, ever since this car was released I think it looks like the villain from cars 2. The resemblance is almost uncanny
My thoughts exactly. However this does make sense because so Miles axelrod was supposed to be a Land Rover Defender 90.
Oh, you mean Sir Miles Axlerod of course
My hands are cramping with all of these cliff hangers..
Great video content as always!!
Gorgeous SUV no doubt but, a vehicle not aimed to true off road enthusiasts that’s for sure.
Those blade shadows are neat!
This would look reaaally good next to my evoque convertible
WE GET IT
Seeing both you guys and Straight pipes pop up at once was one of the hardest decisions.
TH>SP
@@andrewkennedy9704 I agree I definitely chose this first
It's really not even close lol
After a while, The Straight Pipes seems like the same thing over and over again. And once you realize that, it's hard to go back.
Long live Throttle House!!
@@dhruvtanwar5942 I started at SP and find my way here. You're exactly right though. When I watch SP I'll skip through the video but pull out the popcorn for TH.
Cool, you guys got to drive the 2-door Bronco this early!
Thomas just wasn't having that BMI joke today 😂
Great video-do wish you’d shown the back seats lol
They should move the spare tire lower down so you can see out of the rear windscreen. The number plate can go on the side or something.
Love the look of those big 2 door SUVs. Trying to get my hands on an early 90's 2 door Mitsubishi Montero.
You guys should try my 85 samurai would love to see you driving it!
The “creep function” is how restraining orders are born.
Everyone wanted this a long time ago, so long ago, they used dial tones for the car notifications
Thomas always wants to drive
This thing is even MORE of a flex than the BMW X6 coz it takes price and impracticality to an even higher level. So it's really surprising that non-owners adore it so much. It's basically a rolling middle finger to all of us peasants, lol. But enjoy it while all of you can, coz when the BOC is forced to jack interest rates aggressively, bankruptcy court will have this thing towed away so fast your neck will be hurting.
Let’s gooooooooooo
"...maybe if they put some more electronics back there it would actually work properly..."
I felt that.
I absolutely love the new defender and it is a car that I would love to own. However it’s not really a defender because it’s not designed for utility. And it’s way to expensive for a farm vehicle which is what they’re supposed to be. But again I love it it’s amazing off road the interior is Posh while still looking more rugged and is an all round great car with brilliant looks as well and I can’t wait for the SV autobiography version
I’m watching this eating breakfast
Quite a few running around North Vancouver, as for leasing, the agreements likley preclude using it off-road
Just want to add that you can get one of these equally optioned to a top tier rubicon for less money
Did Thomas really check for traffic coming from the other direction while driving off-road at 3:11? Hilarious!
Tommy, my man, what kind of shoes are those? I’m diggin’ them.
wow he went over grass. One word - Daring!
P.S. James May did that in a Lotus Espirit
Yeah, but can it do it on a cold rainy night in Stoke?
greeat vid
You go to the main channel for the intros, the extra channel for the outrows!!!
Love it but wish it had a solid rear axle and/or you could lift it and still maintain good suspension travel.
But the more I look at this defender tomorrow like it
noiiice
Great review on the awesome Land Rover, I want ☝️
Mmmmmmmm cruiser of land
"look at it from the side, I can't get enought of it" absolutely zero shots from the side
1k liked
I have watched full ad for you guys
It is a nice suv for sure, but the bronco is going to be significantly cheaper and for a completely different group of buyers like yall said.
Just did a build of a base for both..
4 door bronco with the 2.7L Eco - $37235 (usd) and
4 door defender with the 3.0L starts at - $62700 (usd) lol
*Did a build of a fully loaded 4 door WIldTrack version of the Bronco and it still comes out under a base 4 door LR at $57510 (usd)
And Land Rover said they wanted to compete with the Ford and Jeep.
The best mall crawler around.
ok ok fine Ill buy one
Surprised it didn't break down during your filming guys! Haha
Awesome car, I just hope you didn’t destroy any killdeer nests when you were driving on the grass. I heard their calls in the background during the intro
I want to see a drag race on grass, and hill starts on the mound.
I love the 2015 150 Sport wheels lol
OMG, will you guys recover after that harrowing off road experience ?
Id like to see a proper off road test with this car
please do this 2 door Defender vs Jimny vs 2 door bronco vs 2 door wrangler
Really torn between the 90 and the 110… I prefer the looks of the 90, but the ease of getting passengers in the back is a pain. The room back there is honestly no different once you’re back there (sat in both). It’s the tiny trunk of the 90 where the biggest sacrifice is made. I guess for big hauls you can flip rear seats down…. But a long road trip with 4 passengers and you’d barely have room for luggage. Tough call.
I like Thomas' shoes, are those air max?
Looks cool make sure you have an extended warranty or hand it back after a 3yr lease... JLR designs are amazing, as are driving dynamics.... reliability is terrible. Its all about your willingness to deal all the issues for the few times you derive satisfaction from it.
*Doug has entered the chat*
i really don'tl ike the look but there's one here in matte black a 110 though in my neigbourhood and it looks really nice
I swear that Land Rover did something to convince all the RUclipsrs that this uncool car is the Coolest thing out there!
Love the channel guys
After James' comment, I'll forgo the 'heavy duty' option. 😂
You know.. the coolest thing about this car that most people don't know is that is has a
LMAO at these endings every video; "which is more than I can say for you because you said you stuck a fork up your..."
I literally wait till the end to see where they cut
I have an old Defender 110 and i’m going to buy a new Defender 110 as a every day family car - perfect combo…
I've just been reading about how problematic recovering a Defender is, if it's in a truly offroad situation. Its owner's manual is very enlightening.
"The vehicle should not be towed on all four wheels and should not be recovered with the front or rear wheels suspended. Doing so can result in serious transmission damage. The method for recovery and/or transportation of the vehicle is on a transporter or trailer designed for that purpose."
"The recovery agent must activate the transmission park release before recovery commences. The procedure for activating the transmission park release is covered in a separate publication for service personnel."
If you don't, the following happens:
"If Neutral (N) is selected and the engine is then switched off, the transmission automatically selects Park (P) after 10 minutes has elapsed. If the transmission park release mechanism has not been activated and the vehicle is being towed, serious damage to the transmission will result."
"If the vehicle cannot be recovered via the correct method, the vehicle can be towed on all four wheels for a short distance."
" Do not tow the vehicle for more than 50 km (30 miles). Do not exceed 50 km/h (30 mph). Towing for a greater distance or at a higher speed may result in serious damage to the transmission."
So you can only go offroad to places that are within 50-ish km of access to a flatbed truck. ... but you can't even go that far unless you've learnt how to activate the transmission park release.
" Only tow the vehicle in a forward direction with all four wheels on the ground. Towing in a reverse direction, or with only two wheels on the ground, will cause serious damage to the transmission."
What if pulling it out backwards is the only access to where it's stuck?
" Do not tow the vehicle if the transmission cannot be set in Neutral (N)."
"Do not tow the vehicle if the rear electronic differential has failed in the locked position."
Crikey. With electrics that shut down the whole vehicle at the drop off a hat, how on earth does all THAT make it a good choice for serious offroading? Australia? Any continent except Europe? Hmm...
Great vehicle, would be even better if JLR called it the Discovery 4.5...because that's what it is. The Discovery "5" should be called the "Velar Sport" or something along those lines.
The back seat does fold flat, just pull up the cushion and remove
Will we ever find out where Thomas stuck that fork?
Have they improved their reliability because the one that the "fast lane car" has had nothing problems.
I think the biggest issue with this SUV is it very limited in the aftermarket to add a real lift and tires especially since it isn't a body on frame. So for anyone who wants to modify it for real offroading can't (for cheap).
Awesome unite if you like waking...
Do the gsf review
Nice extra review! What does your sound guy drive at 6’7”? I’m 6’3” and have issues.
That's me! I drive a Subaru BRZ and a 2003 WRX. The BRZ fits perfectly - one of the main reasons I chose it. Although, I can't quite fit a helmet in my desired driving position. I have to tilt back a touch to fit with it on.
@@HarrisonDoesSound Very nice!! I’d love either of those! I think I’d really like a BRZ as a second car to my Camry if I could swing it in a couple years when my Camry is payed off.
