It would help if the Terrano was heavier in that instance also with having the strap on the tow bar & it being so low it is lifting the a** of the Terrano & pulling the a** of the landrover down which also doesn't help the Terrano.

Yes I agree with that comment, the Terrano rear is being lifted, also it starts off lower too.
Probably the Terrano has bald tyres on sand ...

who knows...

Question..
How much does tyre pressure play in such a synario, we should do a similar video, with our setup of the conditions...

Luckily we don't find ourselves in this situation normally, so who really cares...

Mainly weight is issue there you can see that with just the size difference. How about a reliability test lol keep driving till one stops I know where my money would be lol

Tyre pressures make a huge difference. It's about getting as much rubber on the ground.

Yeah for sure!!!!! Have you all seen the Defender vs Dodge Ram one too? It's a ridiculous video the Defender pulls it around like a toy as it's rear wheel drive and no weight over the back axle being a pickup

Have seen that video a few times totally unfair as you say the dodge was only RWD if it had been a 4WD version it would have pulled the back of the LR off

That T2 looked are if it had just road tyres on so no wonder it got dragged as it had no grip might have been a different story if it had chunky AT's or muds on

on the plus side us R20 owners don't have to spend every weekend fixing ours motors

I drove through a flood last night which I REALLY shouldn't have, came over headlights, I have no snorkel I just took the plastic bit out of wheel arch, it wouldn't rev above 1500rpm, I limped it to my dads which wasn't far. There was water in the air filter, I turned it off and started it again and it she ran like nothing had happened!!!!

On my way to my dads limping it, a recovery truck passed the opposite way with a new looking defender on it

Had water over the bonnet on my MK2 T2 a few times without any problems mut on the MK3&4's i've noticed water can pass between the headlight & the indicator straight into the intake unlike the older ones luckily my headlight protectors cover the gap by about 90%

Well most LR's start their life on one of these...
So I always think... Better get used to that..

the LR in its natural habitat

That landy has some smoke so it's poked . Also much bigger tyres that will help with gearing . As said the towing angle wont help the T2 either.
All that said, it's never meant to be fair

Give us a go , go on, I could do that
