The D350 is already available in the Range Rover, replacing the SDV8.

If you follow that logic the best system to not get stuck would be 2wd, as you'd know the limitations and not try driving on the grass if it looked damp.

If a new Defender has the optional locking rear diff, it also still has four-wheel brake-activated TC, and the driveshafts and the rest of the drivetrain are ... |
