Agree 100%! I wouldn't get a vehicle w/o a heated steering wheel anymore. When it's a January morning and 15 degrees, it's an amazing feeling to right away get in the car and be toasty.

In terms of ride quality for the LC vs the Defender, while the LC is very commendable as a long-distance tourer, it also feels more weighted and boat-like than the Defender. There is a nimbleness / taut feeling to the Defender that the Cruiser lacks.

Here would be my quick differences. Both ride on AT tires so comparable there (Toyo AT3s on the LR and General Grabber ATX on the 4R). Sightlines: Defender crushes the 4R in this regard, in all directions (even with the spare mount on the Defender). LR has always been great about tall...

I have previously reported on my initial shakeout drive in the Defender the same coolant and suspension issues. This was within first 300 miles of delivery back in June this year. No leak whatsoever in the coolant, I believe that LR is using a finicky sensor for the tank as it was slightly...

White Sands National Park, part of a 8 day trip through southern New Mexico and into Tucson.

See my post here: https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/rovids-trial-run.216331/#post-2818930 Short Summary: It's fantastic to sleep in.

Unfortunately that dealer is wrong and TFL should read their manual, LR is pretty explicit there about break-in. But to be fair, I don't think any of their issues point to lack of break-in and simply rest on the issues at Land Rover. See my post at end of preceding page, they need to tighten up...

Unfortunately I'm not sure the TFL Defender is an isolated incident. As some may have seen from my post back in June "Rovid's Trial Run", I was the first customer delivery in CO and now have 5,000 miles on mine. In my 5 months of ownership, it's been to the dealer on 6 separate occasions for a...

Playing around in Moab this past weekend-

I had the stock street tires. Even though you can upgrade direct from factory, I just don't like their options and needed something more robust than the Wrangler Adventure and smoother/newer than the Duratracs. Have really enjoyed the Toyo AT3s so far. I also shopped the Grabber ATX tire (we...

Spent the weekend up in Steamboat, and explored the area around Hahn's Peak a bit. Mostly mellow roads, but now have almost 2,000 miles on the clock and starting to get to know Rovid better. Unfortunately, the lack of quality control is getting really annoying. In addition to the known...

I use an Exped SimComfort Duo 7.5, bottom of 2nd row seats has been removed to make for longer sleeping area and footwells use Rubbermaid Action Pack bins for storage which are perfect height to extend the size of overall cargo area (I'm 6 feet tall). Wife & I have logged about 20 nights with...

Was driving near Leadville over the weekend and saw a caravan of 5 new Broncos near Fremont Pass. 2 blue, 2 black and 1 grey. Also had a Raptor support vehicle with them, they've been running a bunch of trails in Colorado recently. Looked amazing in person, very good proportions and the blue...

Now about 800 miles on the clock, and just came back from another short jaunt off trail in Rovid. Impressions thus far: -The combination of capability and comfort is supreme. This morning drove 80mph up I-70 for an hour before then spending 45 minutes off trail, and love the Range Rover feel on...

I'm 6', she's 5/7. The way the bottom seat cushions flip up would not fit a person my height totally flat. Same issue we have in our 4Runner (in that car we removed the seat bottoms to create more height). The mattress we use is an Exped Duo SIM 7.5 which is unbelievably comfortable and actually...

Just finished a 350 mile shakeout in our new 110 and have some first impressions. We bought the new Defender with the following primary need: has to serve as a daily driver on the weekdays (often with clients in the car), and be able to hang for our weekend lifestyle which is a lot of hiking...

Main reason is simply tire selection; really tough on the 20s (and impossible with 19" rims) to get a broader selection of tires. I don't like the Goodyear Adventure option from LR, and the Duratracs are going to be louder and noisier for what will be 90% highway / 10% off road. Grabber ATX or...

Saw that, those are a bit much for what I need so really hoping I could fit a 275/60 and get out of the proprietary LR size. I have the General Grabber ATX on my wife's 4Runner which we have been really pleased with here in Colorado. Land Rover Denver fitted KO2s in 275/60 to their 110 yesterday...

Just brought home! Hood decal goes on Tuesday, and then I need to get to work on the tires. Saw some pics from Land Rover Denver's parts guys playing around with some KO2s on their demo car, need to get in touch with them to find out about rubbing as it looks like 275/60/20 is the best range for...

Mine is at the dealer, spent some time with it last night and picking it up tomorrow.
