LR3 4.4 V8 vs LR4 5.0 V8 reliability?

Weight distribution hitch
Last August we towed a rented 25' 2015 Airstream with a Reese dual cam. As I recall:: Landrover never tested tested with a WD hitch. So doc says don't use it. Our 2012 LR4 did a great job with the factory hitch. Trailer had a wireless brake controller. Did have to install a permanent... -

Height of LR4 hood?
I just lowered my wife's 2012 LR4 HSE and measured. It will fit without question. -

Towing with the LR4
RVShare.com outdoorsy.co ( it is .co -- not com) Both sites rent trailers and RVs. The 25' Airstream is right near the limit of what the LR4 should tow. The 30 foot is a bit more. I have complete confidence in its ability. You will read many many super conservative perspectives... -

Towing with the LR4
We towed a 25 ft Airstream this summer for 2500 miles. 6500 lbs loaded. It did incredible. About 10 MPG. I was very impressed in every way. -

Wheel Rotation 2014 LR4
Most LR3/4 are rough on front edges of tires. You will maximize tire life by rotating at least every 16000 km.. -

LR4 V6 vs. V8 & Options
I wanted to trade up our 2012 HSE to a 2013 HSE LUX. 68k miles down to 23k miles. Dealership in Asheville NC would only offer me $26k for mine. I will have to sell ours myself or find a better dealer to work with. -

LR4 V6 vs. V8 & Options
I agree with LR4TQ. We have a 2012 LR4 HSE. Very very happy with it. Drove a new LR4 as a service loaner. It's not that the V6 is bad. It is clearly not as good as the V8. If I were buying a another LR4. Low mileage 2013 HSE LUX. CPO is better than new car warranty. You will... -

Slamming Tailgate
You have to slam it. No such thing as a LR4 soft close tailgate. I have not slammed it a number of times only to bring a dash light. -

Looking to buy either of these 2. Help me decide
Not Black I am not a fan of a black interior. It it just stupid hot in the summer and every spec of anything shows up on the dark carpet. I would not consider anything with a black interior. Maybe that is just me. We have owned a Discovery II, LR3 and now an LR4 and 34 other cars. I... -

Compomotive PD 1881 color question
Can't go wrong with black. Similar colors can look a bit odd together. Most of the wheels I have seen on the forums are black. Personally, I like the stock rims with Toyo tires. Mine serves us well. I am sure for extreme offload conditions a more aggressive tire would be better. I do a... -

WTB: VTO500010 - Sliding loadspace floor
I would just call the parts department. Might get lucky with some old inventory. It can't be very popular or they would not have stopped manufacturing it. -

WTB: VTO500010 - Sliding loadspace floor
Sorry - Had no idea they would accept without having inventory. -

WTB: VTO500010 - Sliding loadspace floor
Did you try parts.com. I got all the way to checkout with the part number? I didn't think that would work if they didn't have it. Good luck!!
