In this thrilling adventure, The Fast Lane Car team embarks on a 22,000-mile road trip with the Land Rover Defender 90, a true icon in the world of off-roading. They delve into the unique characteristics of the Defender lineup, highlighting the 90's distinctive design with its long, attention-grabbing doors. However, the team faces challenges with the back seat entry process, showcasing the trade-offs for style in this rugged vehicle.

Under the hood, the Defender 90 boasts a base 2L 4-cylinder turbo engine delivering 296 horsepower, offering decent performance on and off the road. Despite its hefty weight, the Defender surprises with a smooth ride quality, although lacking some oomph for highway passing maneuvers. The team acquired the Defender for a steal at $53,000, opting for the off-road prowess over optional features like air suspension, and rear locker, proving its mettle in challenging terrains.

Venturing into Moab, the team tests the Defender's off-road capabilities, where its short wheelbase and impressive angles shine, showcasing its true off-road DNA. Inside the cabin, the Defender provides a mix of comfort and functionality, with traditional controls and Land Rover's signature terrain management system. However, questions loom over the long-term reliability, especially concerning limited rear storage space and slippery cargo area material. Despite uncertainties, the Defender 90 stands tall as a head-turning, capable off-roader, embodying the spirit of adventure on and off the beaten path.
