lithium1330 Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 in the new Range Rover SVAutobiography. No shovel or sand ladders required - skip to 3:00 mark, or watch the whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHappel Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 I need to experience this myself to see if it's really as good as they claim. I personally have major questions about it. You can't create traction - it's there or it isn't. What does this do differently than a trained foot and a set of lockers? How is this going to overcome physics? I think it might help the new guys in stock rigs but just don't see it actually un-beaching a properly stuck vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRover Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Did someone say sand? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_okXIrRA0s Not quite as 'elegant' as the first video, but looks a lot more fun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it might help the new guys in stock rigs but just don't see it actually un-beaching a properly stuck vehicle.It looks like the tires do tiny, small, quick turns to push the sand away themselves and essentially do the shoveling. Once it's moved enough of the sand away, the car should have enough traction to go. Right? Regardless of what it is and how it works, I'd like to get one, but I think the drought last year killed my money tree. Land Rover should also sell a package with the autobiography version that lets you test your vehicle for a couple months in extreme locations. Iceland, Greenland, Sahara desert, Amazon jungle, Africa... I could go on and on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHappel Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Lemme see....I could buy a new autobiography or I could build a shop. I think we know which choice I would go with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFuller Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Is it just me or is the part where the RR gets unstuck in a different area then when it gets high centered and stuck at the beginning of the segment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpaca Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 It looks low on one side but not the other --- I beached mine at lost coast - took Brenton with his snatch strap to get me moving - I'm pretty sure the computer could not have done that !

AlanB Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 This reminds me of a Defender technique where you gear it all the way down leave it in idle take all weight off including yourself and watch it climb out specific to Saudi type sand.

DHappel Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Kinda like 'walking the Crawler'. Plus it lets you get out and push as needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
