Another Defender hint?

DashRiprock · Aug 10, 2020

This is where front and rear lockers would be nice in the new Defender.

edit: Not clear in prior video if driver configured custom terrain settings which may not have been ideal for conditions. Would definitely get off-road package / electronic rear locking diff for improved performance.

I have yet to see a good off road test with a Defender that has the rear locker. This guy does a great job driving this rig with just the center locker. I would love to see a head to head in a trail like this with 2 defenders. One with and one without the rear locker.

It's amazing what a little orange wrap can do.

The black out of the silver bits is much nicer, but I still kinda like the squared off look:

If they offered that orange color, I'd order it. Looks great with the black contrasts.

Nobody buys fun colors anymore. Even sportscars are all black, silver,, white, or some shade of gray.

Yes, my LR4 is Corris gray, but I wanted the metallic red color Umberto has and my wife vetoed it. I did order my M3 in metallic reddish-orange. My wife's Mini was laser blue.

My wife actually selected the red when we ordered her LR4. There are about 50 LR4's in our small town but just 2 red ones. You can order a RRS in so many colors but the additional cost is around $5000.

I seriously considered vinyl-wrapping the LR4 in metallic burnt orange when we first got it.

I always liked this color (and even my wife would have gone along with it):
