No, our dealer was adamant about no mark ups on NEW vehicles. I'm a car dork and on a bunch of Land Rover blogs. Consensus is that there are VERY few LR dealers in the US who will mark up on your new Defender. Nothing like the Ford dealer mess. HOWEVER, LR dealers have been seriously marking up USED Defenders, including the dealer I purchased from. But new special orders, no.
looks awesome, and I don't blame you. I drove an '04 Disco for the better part of 12 years and loved it. Every time I pass an older model discovery, I feel a little regret bubble up.
While going on 1 year and 7 months since my Bronco reservation, with no build date in sight, Iāve absolutely loved my Bronco alternative - 2022 Defender 110 with the turbo 4 cylinder.
Price on this rig was just a hair more expensive than my Bronco build. Since I picked up end of October 2021, Iāve put on 11k miles driving up and back to Toronto, New Mexico, and multiple times to Big Bend to hit the more challenging off-road trails. These things feels so solid compared to Jeeps and new full size Broncos Iāve driven. And I havenāt had a single problem or a single light come on. Despite TFLās problems with a 2020 4 cylinder, mine feels very capable with power and torque and with zero problems (perhaps a reason not to get a first MY).
And no I donāt work for Land Rover, just have been so pleased with this phenomenal rig.
The wheels are 19" and yes with Goodyear Wranger Duratracs that I threw on. Very capable off-road and still ride pretty well on-road while being relatively quiet. But obviously for pure off-roading don't quite compare to the 35s on squatched Broncos.
yea i just found one in dallas dealer mark up is 25k LMAO, Los angeles has a few too but there mark up is 15K. said no thanks ill wait and just order via factory. what dealer did you order from if you dont mind me asking id like to give em a call if they got anything coming soon. ld love to keep my badlands but so far FORD has been the worse buying experience.
Love your user name. I canāt believe you didnāt insert a memeā¦missed opportunity.
After I took delivery, I threw on some 255/65R19 Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs. They have been incredibly capable for where I take the rig off-road. And they are still pretty quiet and ride smoothly on-road. However, their maximum speed rating is only 99 mph.
Land Rover Austin. They were and are amazing to deal with. No ADM on special order new Defenders. HOWEVER, any used Defenders on their lot will most likely be marked up, like most LR dealers. Also last when I talked to the dealer, Defender orders are unfortunately insanely backed up right now...

No luck involved at all, it seems this guy got the one that is actually holding together past 10 thousand miles. So you would be right at 100 percent lemon probability if you purchased.
How do you feel about the 4 cylinder, power-wise? Did you do a Johnson Rod lift to get those tires to fit?
