I don’t think there is a good replacement for all the aforementioned reasons. It’s (nearly) as quiet as my LX470 was, faster, better handling, might be a bit more competent off-road, is better looking, better seats, and better leather (although I now have Melville & Moon canvas on them). A bit maintenance heavy, sure, but do 5k synthetic oil changes and at least the timing chains should hold up.
that all being said, I window shop Rangers and Gladiators once in a while… but I’ll probably find a low mileage 2013 LR4 when the time comes.
