Hey, Im not saying NOT to get one with the HD package - Im just saying it not the end of the world ohhh, Im afraid to get off the pavement deal. The LR4 with no HD can go a helll of a lot of places with out it.
Now a transfer case - that is a different matter -(LR does not have a transfer case - just a low clutch pack - go look under) my older cars had a low and a high transfer case - the Willys had locking hubs if I remember - those two rides were not all wheel drive like the LR - there were real 4 wheel drive. NO, they did not have software. I will say that the entire time I had them I rarely used the low gears - the high 4 wheel drive yes. And when I did use the creeper gear - it was always in dry situations...that just how it worked out. If fact I do remember when crossing streams with gumbo mud - you would always get stuck because you were going to slow - and you could not spin your wheels. If i did go fast - I would be reved out if I went to fast...the gears were too low. None of those old trucks were as heavy as a LR4
Sure if I was going to go all balls to the walls Dakkar - it might be nice - but if you look - some of those entries are 2 wheel drive. I would probably go with a old school setup - no software - no all wheel drive... Hell look at Baja 1000.
BUt for most of the stuff I see here in Texas - I have no issues with not having the HD package...
To each his own - I still love the car - HD with or without
