Believe it or not..the trailer hitch only had a scratch on it about an inch! I could not believe it. The trailer hitch cover was cracked and had to be replaced. When her vehicle hit me all i heard a was a loud BAM! I was sitting still and she hit me dead on. I sat in my drivers seat and wondered how many thousands of dollars in damage i was going to have...i was thinking the frame..bumpers..panels....backup sensors...etc. I was saying to myself my baby would never be the same again. I was in disbelief when i saw litterally nothing but scratches on my vehicle and the rubber board on top of the bumper had popped up and i popped it back in on the spot. I backed up to see if my backup sensors worked..nothing was damaged. I felt like i was in one of those crash dummy commericals.

It only proves that the weight and build of this vehicle is well made and it could go through a building. The police and firemen were all taking pictures, noone could believe the minimal damage i had and what happened to her vehicle. Really..you see the pictures..nothing serious at all. I felt sorry for her and her vehicle.

Sorry Marty..i never answered your initial question...no i do not use the tow hitch for anything. I would not even know how to. :stupid:

that is the top speed... LR4 had the speed limiter set way too low.

why you would want to drive that fast or anywhere close to that in an LR4 is beyond me. These vehicles are not made for speeds that high. To each his own, as long as you are not endagering anyone elses life. If it were a sports car I would understand why you would want to take it up that high...

I understand and respect your statement sir. I have a very simple answer for you. I do it because I can.

Maybe I'm just a wimp but this truck has way more horse power than I'm willing to try. I've had it over 90 and was surprised that I was going that fast. I do quite a bit of mountain road driving here in Socal and throwing the truck into Sport mode makes it seem like I'm driving a sports car. Thank god I'm not a speed freak or else this truck would get me in serious trouble.

Hey a517458,

Where do you live? I live in the SF Bay area. There are a few of us on the list.
