It’s time for an almighty tug of war!
First up we’ve got the best of British, the new Land Rover Defender, going up against the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon! On the face of it, you may think the Jeep Wrangler has the advantage, given its 2-litre turbo petrol can put down 270hp – more than the Defender’s 2-litre turbo, which can only produce 240hp.
However, that’s just about where the Wrangler’s advantages seem to end, as the Defender can produce 430Nm (compared to the Wrangler’s 400Nm), it’s heavier (weighing 2.4 tonnes compared to the Wrangler’s 2 tonnes) and it’s jam-packed full of off-roading tech!
However, that’s not all! Once these two have gone head-to-head, the Mercedes G350d will roll up to take on the winner! With a 2.9-litre straight-six diesel which can produce 286hp & 600Nm, this is one Mercedes which can easily take on either of these competitors!
All we know is – you don’t want to miss this!

I actually thought the rover was going to win
Let’s do the price difference
Discovery and sport stronger than defender
This is nothing but a test of tires.
Merica!
Tyres Matt!
Jeep king!!! Sit down land rover. Mall crawler
Tyres + pressures , weight ,diff-locks , driver , all have bearings on traction ‘ performance.
Tyres. With proper tyres you would have stood a chance.
Ok so wat happened Matt, u wiped the floor with all of them in the RangeRover but not in the Defender ??
USA, USA, USA!! Deutschland Uber ALLES!!
The discovery did just fine when he last tug of war'd that car but why did the defender not do so well? Maybe with the rear diff and the 3 litre 6 cylinder diesel it might do better.
What about a tug of war of defender vs G wagon
This was mostly a tyre challenge for the wet grass
We need a trackhawk vs amg vs svr tug of war
Defender let down by tyres…
Long time ago, Mercedes bought Puch (an Austrian offroad verhicle producing Company) and take over the Design and technology of the Puch G and now its called Mercedes G-class, please play the Austrian Anthem as well ;D
Where is Yanni in his range Rover sport?!?
Good old-fashioned low gear for the Jeep.
