This is interesting. Given today's market, it seems some of these luxury vehicles are a relative good deal. Paying MSRP for a Land Rover seems more appealing than paying $5k over MSRP for a Hyundai.
They don't look great in person. Even my wife, who has zero knowledge in cars, said that it was ugly.
While going on 1 year and 7 months since my Bronco reservation, with no build date in sight, I’ve 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, I’ve 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 I’ve driven. And I haven’t had a single problem or a single light come on. Despite TFL’s 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 don’t work for Land Rover, just have been so pleased with this phenomenal rig.
Totally agree. In fact I am in the same boat and the fact that Ford has pushed my delivery date back three months and while at the same time allocating 40% of allocation to dealers to shaft buyers instead of those of us who have been eating for almost two years. There is a very nice LRD for 76500 locally and the dealer and LR actually care about the customer….and btw that interior is so much nicer. It is not a Raptor or even Squatch alternate…but it is a better OBX
This has been the nicest Defender thread I've seen on B6G.
I didn't buy a Bronco for a quiet ride on the highway and if it does leak, so what? Good chance I'll be top off in the rain at some point!I'll post a comparison video of cabin noise at highway speeds between Defender and Bronco, oh and of no interior leaks from the roof.
🥱So our family has had Land Rovers (and Fords) for over 20 years and we've never run into this with LR, but I have heard stories about how bad it is. Interestingly enough, since I got the Defender, I've received MULTIPLE calls from Land Rover America asking about how I'm enjoying my Defender. They are almost overly nice and trying overly hard to be helpful. Might be compensating for past LR customer service woes.... That being said, doesn't seem like us Bronco customers have had great luck with any kind of Ford customer service either....
