This is great. I'm excited for you. I know you were hoping for the Black Package but I think this looks really good and, as others on this forum have done, you'll be able to create your own at some point in the future if you want.

Also interested in your impressions of the Arabica interior. My wife and I are heading down to our dealer in a few minutes to see a Corris Gray Lux w/ Arabica interior that they have on the floor waiting for the new owner to come pick it up. We may switch our interior choice to Arabic rather than Almond. I am thinking the darker seats may hold up better.

Congratulations - looks beautiful. I am happy it worked out for you.

danrhiggins, I absolutely love the Arabica interior and it really holds up well. It is a beautiful combination of the light dash and dark seats/trim.

My order should go in this week

2014 LR4 HSE
Ipanema Sand (or Indus Silver, if I change my mind)
Almond interior
Heavy Duty Package; Full size spare, Locking Rear Differential, 2 speed transfer case
Vision Assist Package; excellent safety features inside
Climate Comfort Package; for those cool mornings in the Colorado Rockies

They switched the wheels around in MY2014. Unfortunately, I like the 7 spoke wheels on the 2013 HSE; and they now have them on the LUX.
The dealer said he'd try to order the LUX wheels, but thinks he may not have that option.....

Now I just need to be patient for 4 months.
Oh, my dealer just got the 2014 LR4 brochures in; good photos.

Also, you may want to contact the system administrators to perhaps make this thread a "sticky". I had made three threads "stickies" before, but a few folks have not been able to get in touch with them.

Does getting a full size spare with the HD package effect the 3rd row seat? If it is a bigger tire then I was wondering does the cavity get bigger and take away leg room. Anyone know?

The HD package doesn't effect anything with interior space. There is a spare there no matter what. The full size does hang down a little farther than the doughnut of course.

My order went in today. Hurray! June 10 scheduled delivery date.
Does anyone know if the order document is available online, such that I can track changes to the dates?

Also, in the detailed build list, I noticed mention of a scissors jack. Is that right? They supply a scissors jack for an LR4? My Disco II has a hydraulic bottle jack....

Great to hear you got your order placed!

I'm starting to think we need to create a new thread for just 2014 deliveries.
