I am not so sure. The JL in rubicon trim is well built and reasonably durable, D44 axles with lockers, interior is pretty spacious, similar in size to the old defender. That may have been true in the CJ/YJ/TJ era (although TJ rubis got D44) and they are small.
And Toyotas don’t break IME. Sure these options are not a TLC/G-wagen but they are much less money and much less complicated. I am on the fence, but I sort of need another automatic SUV that is new and not six figures. I am between the wrangler, the 4runner, the sequoia, and this is why I am following this thread as another potential option. As far as my daily, I will be keeping my taco.
As lame as the new Defender is, it's still superior to the JL in most the ways Rovers always have been.
