    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...

    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.

    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!!

    Territory

    So this thread makes no sense to me. I live in Raleigh NC. 2 Hours away in Winston Salem is another dealer. I am talking Volvo. The dealership in Winston Salem has saturated their market with Volvos. The Raleigh dealer does not have a great reputation for offering good deals or...

    Wiring question

    We had a issue with not starting. Doors opened lights lite. Starter would not turn over. Problem has not happened in months. I think issue was not pressing hard enough on Brake pedal. If vacuums happened to leak down it takes a lot of pressure on brake to engage switch to allow starter to...
