A fun thread idea....

Hard to not go with the Defender though, no?
I have the LR3 over anything but the Defender. Here is my rationale:
1. Not sure about "articulation" per se but the wheel travel is really good for an indy suspension with 10" in front and 13" in the rear.
2. Better crawl ratio than the RRC and the D1...I think. The D2 had a paltry crawl ratio of 28.7:1. I can't imagine the D1 or RRC being much better than that. The D90 is 40:1. LR3 is 45:1.
3. HDC and 4ETC are excellent on the LR3, non-existent on the RRC and D1...as far as I know. Even if those have TC, it's first gen. 4ETC is a vast improvement. HDC improved greatly from that in the D2, as well.
4. Better ground clearance than any prior Rover, at least down the center due to the diffs being tucked up.
5. Finally: Rear Locker....and that's the game winner!

Being an odd duck, I have to say. the best Land Rover is the one sitting in my driveway. All the horsepower/ approach angle/ gear ratios
/ etc etc are meaningless if I don't get to drive it.
I know this is not what you intended in the first post, but you did say you like to argue (As do I!).![Wave](https://landroverforums.com/forum/images/smilies/waving.gif)
