Sort of a questionnaire/poll/tips post. We have a 2011 LR4 Lux with 60k miles on it. I love the truck and so do my sons (3.5 and 10 months, admittedly the young one doesn't quite know how much he likes it yet). It is garaged every day/night and we only drive it about 5k a year. We are in the northeast so it does see snow.
We were driving it a while back and I joked to my son that he could drive it to high school (2028 or whatever) and he thought that was cool.
And then I got thinking and with the design change and being one of the last few models with the v8, I would love to keep this thing forever. Does anyone else feel that way, have plans to do that, tips for caring for it, etc.? We bought it a year ago with 55k on it and my local mechanic loves it and said we made a great buy and has taken it under his wing. So it's in good hands (not mine!) and if we continue our driving habits it won't even cross over 100k for another 8 years.
I just feel like the design will hold up and the fact that there isn't a whole lot of fancy gadgets and electronics* will make it easier to keep it going (manual tail gate, manual seat folding, etc.)
*disclaimer added; not as much as other modern vehicles or the new lr5 haha. sorry!
