Top Gear — Britains Best 4X4 (1998)


Because of the fact that I didn’t found this video on youtube anymore and that I downloaded it when it still was there on youtube, i thought: lets upload it .. Jeremy Clarksons compares some well know 4×4: in order: 1. Range Rover 2. Nissan Patrol 3. Ford Explorer 4. Isuzu Trooper 5. Jeep Grand Cherokee 6. Toyota Landcruiser (100) (go to the TopGear or BBC channel for more Top Gear videos)

    Or Maybe because a lot more viewers of topgrear wanna see the range and not the land cruiser? For normal car-interests are few more shows better too look at, because topgear means entertainment. overpriced, fast, “fancy” and expensive car’s. But in such great locations with great camerawork – and a bit of “late-night
    entertainment” between. It’s just fun to looke =)

    Don’t you see the Difference between the tested ones and a Wrangler?
    All of the shown 4×4 are Big ones, with 4 Doors, Space for 5 People & Room for Luggage. I really like the Wrangler, most time in Holladys i rent one ^^ But the Wrangler is a “small” 4×4, 2 Doors, not so much space & way not so comfortable on normal roads like the shown ones.

    @jan585 I agree with you, here in Australia where I come from it doesnt matter how big your 4×4 is. if it is reliable and takes you where you want (or need) to go then you will buy it, which is why toyota 4x4s are king

    @719FoxRider719 Its the kind of people who buy big expensive 4×4. They want something they can take into the countryside once in a while without getting stuck or be safe when it snows and at the same time be comfortable and luxurious. The people who are into serious off roading get the Defender. Saw a top of the range Range Rover V8 Vogue today. It was sweeet!!! If I had the 80k to waste, I’ld get myself a Range Rover. But as I don’t, I’ll stick to the basic but functional Diesel Land Cruiser.

    Range Rover is the best off roader. But i’ld still rather have a normal Land Cruiser (not the big V8). Its half the price of the Range Rover and as good off roading and then its also the most reliable car in the world…

    Range Rover is for people who want a big luxurious car which they can take off road once in a while.
    The Defender on the other hand is for proper off roaders who don’t know how to drive on anything other than rocks, rivers and dirt and luxury to them is an AC and radio!!

    @g37muflih And he owns a LandCruiser Amazon. He also owns a Range Rover too.
    He says the Land Cruiser is too rugged for British off roading.

    The reason he likes Range Rover so much is that it is a bit better than the Land Cruiser off roading (more electronics) and it has an amazingly luxurious interior. So its a very comfortable, very luxurious off roader. Only reason its not as popular as the Land Cruiser is because everyone knows the Land Cruiser will go anywhere and will never breakdown.

    @719FoxRider719 No idea man. already had some reactions why they didn’t test Defender, Discovery and others.
    Who knows it and who will tell it why they didn’t tested all these. Probably Jeremy
    but if they had to test al these off roaders, it would be to much to compare at the same time. and there wouldn’t be a clear overview of the vehicles anymore ..

    @jan585 I’m just wondering why they didn’t do a review of the wrangler—surely its better than a cherokee and certainly the explorer. I view the explorer as more of a family suv that you would drive in snow but not off road unless it was seriously modified

    @godzillaisnuclea123 ha but a 4×4 is only good if you can actually get it out of the driveway!–but I agree, a trooper is more limited when it comes to offroad modifications but its dependable as hell! and surprisingly easy to maintain since it has, dare I say it, a GM motor.

    @719FoxRider719 im pretty sure a rangie even this model which is the worst ofrroad out of all the range rovers range rover is stil better offroad than a trooper although id rather have a trooper though

    the p38 model rangie shown in this vid is rubbish get a discovery 1 or 2 and they perform better than all these plus that landcruiser is a 100 series which is nothing compared 80 series i would rather have the tropper reliable rugged a good workhorse and offroader

    oh my gosh they think the land cruiser is a big car over there?! hahaha come to america and see what we drive! lol. and saying america’s best 4×4 is the explorer is actually quite shameful lol!

    and how does the fact that cher and janet jackson have range rovers apply to this being a good 4×4? they all live in hollywood where there is no suck thing as off road or any conditions that require 4×4—this obviously shows that its considered a luxury car and not a capable 4×4—but they are pretty sexy! ha i’d go with the trooper—oh wait-I already have one! ha

    @jan585 Its true for Range Rovel, but a Land Cruiser is more luxurious / Comfortable than a Defender :)

    @khylie555 Not (only) for that. Just because there is chuch a demand for the 70 series, not only by african people, but also by help organisations, armys …
