Range Rover vs. Escalade vs. H2

[SciRunner]

Apparently 5MPH using the T4R's DAC is normal since the Range Rover also goes down at the same speed.

Here's something else too: Land Rover Discovery, aka LR3 in the US going up a mountain. Is the T4R capable of doing the same?

The answer is YES...as long as you have good tires and an experienced driver.

BTW, i am moving this to OFF-ROADING section.

cool video, but what was with the random stab at eskimos? and did you notice how the rims kept getting cleaned? for the price I would still take my 4runner, but with that cool "car status" display

Jeremy Clarkson is the man if you want to see vehicles pushed further than any other car testing show watch Top Gear.

It'll out wheel all of those anytime.

That guy is a hoot !! I've seen him do other things and he just cracks me up. Nice find on the vids , very interesting.

That Rover weights every bit as much as the Escalade, oh I'm sorry, I meant Escalaud...

Notice how the Caddy and the Hummer both get stuck it spots that JC didn't even try to attempt, like robots were driving them or something.

I'll admit that the RR is probably the best vehicle in the group, especially for off-roading but is that really a surprise?

Still love Top Gear tho...

*EDIT*

Just looked up curb weights:

Caddy Escalade AWD: 5666 lbs (a little less than "a billion gazillion tons")
Range Rover Supercharged: 5842 lbs

Pretty much you can't believe anything that comes out of his mouth, ever.

JC is very funy on the way he aproaches automotive journalisim.

On the other hand, the reallity of things with the Escalade it is designed to be a luxury SUV to carry people around town but not off road. The Humvee is very nice looking and also good offroading, but they lack that pedegree that Land Rovers and Toyotas have(Defender and Land Cruiser).
I have driven Land Rovers for almost 10 years now and they are awsome off road. I now have my Runner and love it and cant wait to get rid of dose Dunlops and get a set of BF's A/T to get it off road properly.
