Unlike the current Defender whose live axles and go-anywhere four wheel drive system, the model that is expect to land in 2007 will take offroading from a modern perspective. We are expecting the new Defender to ride on Land Rover's T5 platform - the same as the new Discovery and the upcoming Sport model. Other technological advancements include adjustable air suspension, and the Terrain Response system, both featured on the Discovery. The question is whether or not these components will hold the to the test of durability and reliability. No other vehicles are punished as hard as these ones.

It's not a good idea to try to beat me back to the main road by taking a shortcut across a low spot in the field in March when you're 3/4 drunk. You're likely to find the Bog.

Worst of all, no V8. The article if I remember correctly stated they would be aiming the vehicle at younger less serious off-roaders in the market. Horse-shxt

If you hit a bump the engine will put up a white flag and start sounding German

No kidding. Ford ruined the Range Rover. It now looks like an Explorer. Nice going Ford.

Now under Ford Motor Co.'s wings, the next Defender will be built with a new, modern body design on a steel frame. Short-wheelbase, long-wheelbase, and soft-top versions are in the works, although not all might be bound for North America. Gasoline engines will come from Ford: a direct-injection four with variable timing, a 3.0-liter Duratec V-6, and for the U.S. only, a 3.8-liter V-6. Peugeot will supply a 2.7-liter turbodiesel V-6 for Europe.
****e - frigging French Peugeot diesel engine in a Land Rover!
Talk is of Ford shifting some production to the USA as well - not very British anymore is it. Although build quality will probably improve!

The Defender was really stuck. And then the ground refroze. The pickup in the background that's attempting a rescue just got dragged forward towards the mess. We ended up having to use one of the big well digger trucks that had a HUGE winch with 300+yards of line on it to pull the hapless Defender out.
This was 7 or 8 years ago, but just last year my buddy Wiley found the Bog at night in his H2. Super Swamper SSR's didn't make a bit of difference.
