If I read the blurb correctly it can have a camera system like the F35 Lightning where you can see 'through' the floor!
2020 LR Defender
Re: 2020 LR Defender
Disco Sport has max. towing capacity of 2200 kg the new Defender can tow 3720 kg
One is suitable for towing a caravan the other for pulling a combine harvester out of a field
Re: 2020 LR Defender
Just saw Hammond’s video on it, I swear the chequer plating looks to be moulded plastic
No doubt some aftermarket company has already made actual plating for it.

How about not having a sig at all?

Re: 2020 LR Defender
Chequer plate on that is no different than the cheap tat chrome Marc’s are putting on their cars, hateful shit.
Some textured rubber like on the Cactus door would do the job.
I wonder if they will do a pick-up version because as it stands not a single utility company would buy one. There are still a few of the newer 2.2 versions used by the electricity board near me and a few with cherry pickers and cranes on etc.
It will be great but if its not seen doing the tough stuff, modified, external cages, big work boxes on the back etc will it still be as popular ?
The roof load is a big improvement which is nice and the 3.5ton tow capacity being kept is important. The load area looks a bit rubbish but although the original is big inside, the door size is quite small which is a twat at times.
I think only Toyota is left with a truly rugged 4x4 ?
Dave!

Re: 2020 LR Defender
It’s now a monocoque chassis so it would be quite difficult to turn it into a pick up wouldn’t it?
It has 85 different ECUs so god bless the future owners who have them out of warranty

Re: 2020 LR Defender
Yes first I noticed it on the wing mirror and thought that’s odd, then there was a close up on the front bumper which made it clear that it’s plastic.

Re: 2020 LR Defender
That front bar looks a bit retiree spec Series 1 Freelander, doesn’t it?
It’s really gross

Re: 2020 LR Defender
I notice the snorkel has no effect on the wading depth as well. Wonder if that's due to the mounting locations of key electrical items?
Re: 2020 LR Defender
How strange, it is probably to protect electronics and the interior and give them a get out clause if you take it wading a bit too deep and damage something!
Wonder if the front bumper has a clever design to snap off allowing access to maintain the winch. It seems very hidden.

Re: 2020 LR Defender
It floats if you go any deeper!
I love it, I think they’ve really hit the nail on the head with this one.

Re: 2020 LR Defender
The 90 on steelies in green looks the business! I know this is the new Defender, but are the army and farmers going to buy it (or be able to afford it?) for tooling around the great outdoors? Or will it just be the latest must-have for the school run?
Cheers,
Mike.
