LR4 - Is there an equivalent in ride/driving experience?
I agree that there isn’t anything else like the LR4, been looking around. I rode in a bronco recently and it was crap. And the tow capacity was surprisingly low, especially for a vehicle with a solid rear axle . I don’t see what’s so special about that thing except for the doors are removable...- fireangel1313

Air suspension faults when cold out
I’m experienced the same problem. I took the valve block to the air tank out and disassembled it. Found the solenoid in it to be stuck. Actually the second time I’ve had to do this. I even installed a new desiccant kit last summer so I don’t think it’s a moisture problem with my system, maybe...- fireangel1313

Showoff Your LR4
Installed myself a new little toy to use in CO! I know I know, it's sticking out. No it doesn't interfere with clearance. I just wasn't happy with a completely hidden winch. I love it! Looks beefy and is practical...and I'm likely to hit my shin on it. I used a harbor freight winch tray...- fireangel1313

Anything I should check beside the wheel hubs?
I installed new ones and about 10k miles later one went bad. When I initially replaced them they were cheaper ones. I replaced the bad one with a Moog. I think it's much better now. So not sure if what they were replaced with was good quality, but that might play into your problem. Also...- fireangel1313

Outside temp reads -40 after new bumper installed.
Probably just didn't hook it back up correctly when they installed the new one bumper, which is suweeet! I unplugged mine to rip out the plastic shroud inside the bumper (about the install a winch) and left it unplugged for a few days. My LR4 didn't like that! Read -40 and engine light came...- fireangel1313

2013 LR4 5.0L Cold start knocking noise
I have a 2013 (130k miles) and had the ticking/clicking noise start happening on cooler days. It only happens for a few minutes then goes away. It drove me nuts so I replaced it when I replaced the water pump, cross over, etc. and it seemed to stop for a little bit, however, it was generally...- fireangel1313

Curt trailer Hitch install info for a 2012 LR4?
I'm surprised the Curt wasn't much better than the OEM hitch. So far I'm pretty happy about the OEM hitch. I was skeptical at first. I have a 5,000lb single axle boat trailer that I tow all over and it works great!- fireangel1313

2013 LR4 V8
I bought my 13' a few years ago and love it! It had a little over 90k on it and now has 136k. I bought it bc it shouldn't have the timing chain issues, "updated" console, and V8. It wasn't worth it to me to pay 5k more for a 14' turbo V6 that gets 1mpg better and less torque. I pull a 5000...- fireangel1313

finally making appointment for cross over pipe replacement
Honestly it may be in your best interest to look at selling your LR4 now before you take it to the dealership and sink a ton of money into fixing that cross over piping, etc. The turbo charged V6s have been known to fail earlier than the V8 versions. I just replaced mine (2013) at 130k and it...- fireangel1313

Showoff Your LR4
Caught a sneak peek of this beauty the other day...must be the new Range Rover that everyone is talking about! Just disappointed that Range Rover resorted to Honda brand wheels, perhaps there is something there I'm missing!- fireangel1313

Max towing -- 2012 V8
Depending on how far you are going and the terrain, hilly vs. flat; highway vs. side streets, and as long as the hitch load isn't much more than 770Lbs you might be okay. The physics involved between the trailer and the LR4 becomes more of an issue depending on the terrain involved IMO. The...- fireangel1313

2016 LR4 Coolant Crossover, Water Pump, Thermostat Replacement
After fixing the leaking bleed valve I found that the small elbow going into the water pump was actually leaking worse than the bleeder! I had a heck of a time trying to get the leak stopped while I was waiting on a new elbow. I eventually used outdoor clear silicon caulk around it. This goes...- fireangel1313
