Just as capable off-road. Landcruiser is better overall though. World's strongest frame and comes with all the lockers, like the G wagon does. But they're expensive though. So out of the 3, for the money, the 4runner is the best. Most versatile, and most capable in multiple categories. Not just focused on one thing only.

Hey guys! All of the problems you experienced with the G-Wagen should be solved with it's new Trail Package. It includes higher profile BFG All Terrain tyres, smaller wheels (with a nice off-roady design), and more underbody protection. I think the reason most G-Wagens come with those all season tyres is, like you said, almost none of their owners will ever take them off road. But the ones that will, will get the Trail Package for sure.

Excellent review guys

Ok I'll say it. This video is just bad ass!!!! Great job tfl crew. This is just a fun time in beautiful CO

For 4wd vehicles, only toyotas and nissans made in Japan can travel in the Australian outback without falling apart. Jeep and Land Rovers compete for last place but surprisingly the G wagon also shake apart on the corrugations. However, Mercedes and many other types of trucks handle the roads pretty well with some daily maintenance. I have ordered toyota prados straight from the dealer with BF Goodrich tyres, you just have to think about your purchase. If you plan to play on sand frequently however stick with the factory standard 'soft roader' A/T tyres. Also,any slightly serious 4w driver would be adjusting tyre pressure to suit the conditions.

@rabblerouser After a few hundred kilometres of corrugated dirt roads, mine work or rocky deserts the bolts, welds, screws etc on jeeps, land rovers etc just come apart. Also many of the suspension components are not robust enough and break when placed under strain on river crossings. Toyota test all of their vehicles in Australia to be able to handle this punishment. Toyota has chosen a different position on the trade offs between cost, weight savings and strength. American toyotas are cheaper than elsewhere so it is possible that they are constructed with inferior components. In the US you don't need to drive thousands of kilometres on rough roads in temperatures up to 50 degrees celsius (122 degrees fahrenheit). Even on highways fuel may only be available every 300 kilometres or so and we have cattle stations bigger than many of your states. Australia has plenty of mountains near the coast but they have been worn down from being taller than the himalayas to not much more than 3,000 metres. More than 90% of the population lives in 0.22% of the country. Aftermarket high powered turbo and super charged wranglers with modified suspensions do well on sand dunes but generally they have to stick to bitchumen to survive.

I just heard that the jeep range received a one star safety rating in Europe and Australia. You would be stupid to buy a vehicle that is designed to kill you in a crash. The passenger compartment is already collapsing in a 64 kilometre per hour crash test. Lazy, stupid engineers.

I want to see these things done with the two door Jeeps. Superior breakover, turning radius, and weight. Using the Unlimited is just handicapping the Jeep results. We aren't comparing how much junk you can stow in them, we're comparing off road capability.

Great review Gentlemen! Thanks.

I love all 3 of these off road icons but that Jeep made off roading look uneventful. I realize tires play a big role but damn. As a ZR2 owner (in part because of your recommendation) I tip my hat to the Jeep. Nice!

If they had ordered the cars themselves from the factory, they would have some options on tires as well as all the other stuff that brought the price up to a 140k. Someone else had configured the cars, and the G-wagon was clearly meant for dry roads in this configuration. Personally I think it's a crime to put those tires on a G-Wagon, but there seems to be no actual laws on the matter :) Now the Jeep may well be a better off road car than the the others here, but this test only proves that you need the right tires for the conditions you drive in. That said, I have only driven older G-wagons in military configurations, and they seemed unstoppable, so I have no real base for comparison.

Hello I enjoyed the video. Well done. The BF Goodrich tires ruled and showed that they make a huge difference in off road ability. Grip is important.

great video. loved the comparison at bare bones stock.

Why no score for suspension travel or articulation? Seems far more important than something like air suspension (that has never been successful in any off road competition I'm aware of when competing with springs - linear long travel springs seem to always provide better performance than highly progressive air springs). Also it would be worth having some scoring based on shocks - bypass vs non, and shock cooling capacity. One other pretty important factor for off road is the tire sidewall height. If you can't air down - you can't really do much off road travel.

@@hesher866 I don't even consider tires a modification if they are on the stock wheels. Anyone off-roading is going to put some kind of AT tires on the vehicle.
