Ranger Rovers dominate off road. Unfortunately they're also very luxurious and expensive so not many people take em off road.

Kinda weird that the wheels slipped/skidded on the way down but i didn't see any wheel slipping on the way up

I'd say they're equally inclined in both fields (no pun intended) ;)

well there is the defender but thats kinda too hardcore for daily driving and very gas guzzling

well i guess there is a plus side to having a 3+ tonne truck...it's what will keep it planted to the hill

When climbing a hill I'm not so sure I agree, sorta like when you're going uphill it's more likely to spin your tires than going downhill or flat surface
although at such extreme circumstances I wouldn't know

i pull off something similiar in my old freelander before. granted its no range rover and the hill wasn't as steep but it was pretty close, i did a 4 point turn on the near 70 degree hill. So satisfying, if i was driving any other cars i've own or own now i would need to be tow out.

imagine sitting inside that with the guy, looking straight down to the ground coming back down the hill

Very impressive. Going down, it looks like the rear tires are almost off ground.

That's bloody intense for what looks to be a stock vehicle.

must've been some pretty DAMN good tires
and the hill surface was probably perfect for maximum friction
wonder if theres a little bit of camera tilt to exaggerate the awesomeness of it tho

IIRC, RR has a 'hill descent' function. Makes me wonder if it was used in this case.

I'm no hill climbing expert, but I'm pretty sure he rolled because he tried climbing that rock with too much speed. He shouldn't have gunned it.

But watching that Range Rover climb is pretty impressive. I'm pretty sure I'd be shitting myself if I were sitting inside.

I have ATV'd enough to know climbing something that steep is no easy task (although I'm sure that Range Rover has some aids, but even still, it's not an easy climb)

There is an absolutely beautiful defender on CL
but too expensive for most of us I'm assuming
