Rhino / ox hitch option
LR factory hitch setup is commonly referred to as "the plow". Well earned reputation if you have every towed on a forest service road. -

Rhino / ox hitch option
So, early adopter of the Rhino hitch. Probably a customer of the first or second production batch and with my early order Todd provided a small discount. That was probably 5 or 6 years ago. Initially upgraded from LR's "plow" because it was too low for forest service / off road excursions with... -

LR4s out there holding their value maybe more than just quite well
Yup, the new Defender is a LR5 + Blackberry QNX as the embedded OS. -

LR4 to Disco 5
Interesting perspective on the D7 Premium Lightweight aluminum platform vs the LR3/4. The D7 allowed LR to shed nearly 1000 lbs, at a cost of long term rigidity/robustness?- mpinco

LR4s out there holding their value maybe more than just quite well
The higher volumes were built with Evoque's, Velar's and Disco Sports. JLR's plan was to challenge BMW with models and manufacturing. In the end JLR lost its character, sales leveled off but cost continued to rise. By 2019 they were taking billion dollar losses. Solution? Fire the CEO and... -

Signing off

LR4 - LCA - Longevitiy/Diagnostic
Two tell tale signs. - The bushings are loaded with oil. When some fail they can drip. - Rolling up to and over a speed bump should feel tight. When they go you can feel a distinct 'bump' or play in the LCA. $2400? for LCA's? Highway robbery. Should be half that. -

2016 LR4 Towing capacity tongue weight
In general tongue weight should be in the 10-13% of trailer weight range. Are you saying your tongue weight is zero or close to it? Or are you saying the WD was set up to counter the tongue weight? In this case I'm saying a measured 600 lb tongue weight was managed by setting up the WD to the... -

Your thoughts on the Ineos Grenadier?
Marketed and supported correctly Ineos Grenadier will do fine. Tesla broke the dealer model while International Scout highlighted a possible support model (sell them at your local ag dealer that also has 24/7 support) -

Your thoughts on the Ineos Grenadier?
The Land Rover "Defender" is built in ........ Slovakia, not the UK.
