LR4s out there holding their value maybe more than just quite well
Ill have to say, the LR4 is the best all around vehicle I’ve ever owned. I see nothing out there that even appeals to me as a future replacement. From camping to off-roading with the kids then, after a proper wash, taking the wife in heels and a dress to a night in Downtown LA - it does it all...- Forty Deuce

2016 Brake Controller Help
So there is a lot out there about not using a full weight distribution hitch as it interferes with the Tow Assist software in the Land Rover. I use a single sided anti-sway set up and programmed the trailer to my LR4 using the trailer tracking target (Looks like a triangle with three large...- Forty Deuce

2016 Brake Controller Help
I too have a 2016.5 LR4. Atlantic British told me the same thing. I went through the same frustrations and dead ends. Even the dealership had no answers. I bought a Tekonsha P3 brake controller and it mated perfectly with a Ford-Mercury wiring harness. I tow a Lance trailer using the 7-pin...- Forty Deuce

Brake Controllers & LR4
So, the issue I had was when other phone functions, s texts, calls, or other apps conflicted with the access to the brake controller app. If you had a dedicated phone it may not be as annoying but my iPhone serves a few functions and it became a matter of competing “screen time”. Also, the...- Forty Deuce

Brake Controllers & LR4
So I bought a travel trailer for the family and I. As I told the wife, it’s nothing but an expense but we’re buying memories while the kids are still small and we only get 18 summers. I wished to share my experience buying a brake controller. I tried a Bluetooth/wireless brake controller...- Forty Deuce

Your thoughts on the Ineos Grenadier?
https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/ineos-grenadier-2021 Ladies & Gents, I offer for your consideration the Ineos Grenadier. While still in the development stage the developers are pretty bold about claiming it will be on the market in 2021, COVID complications not withstanding...- Forty Deuce

2020 Defender Drive Impressions.
Honestly, the biggest disappointment to me was hearing that there are no current plans to import a Diesel engine. This is just ridiculous.- Forty Deuce

2020 Defender Drive Impressions.
So, I had a really cool opportunity to drive the new 2020 Defender at a Land Rover sponsored event in Coachella (CA). It had a fleet of brand new, just shipped in, Defenders for us to drive. I’ll be honest enough to tell you I didn’t particularly like the press images of the Defender I had...- Forty Deuce

Towing Questions.
So I’ve finally decided to buy a camping trailer for family trips and will be towing with my LR4. I’m not sure if the towing assist software includes a braking control system, or I’ll need to buy a separate one. Any recommendations for one particular brand if that’s necessary? (Perhaps that’s...- Forty Deuce

LR4 Rear Tailgate Actuator
So this just happened to my 2016. Lucky for me it happened immediately after I had just finished unloading the back after a week long camping trip. Unloading that much through the rear passenger doors would’ve been a chore. I’m surprised that JLR never added a pull-release for the interior of...- Forty Deuce

Snow Chains
Well, the snow was great in Wrightwood where my son and I went for the weekend. People there told me it was some of the best snow they had seen in several years. We stayed at a cabin about 6 miles west of Wrightwood. While I didn’t need to put the chains on the roads were closed and completely...- Forty Deuce

Snow Chains
Great advice and insight. Thank you all. I like the idea of returning them unopened and unused but it conflicts with my inner gear-geek that wants to fidget with them and try them on dry so that if (and I recognize that is a unlikely and remote “if”) then I have at least a passing familiarity...- Forty Deuce

Snow Chains
I live in Southern California which means most of you will probably laugh at the idea I even know what inclimate weather looks like, but I swear I saw it once. In any event the kids like trips to the snow and the local mountains get their share. California has chain laws so depending where I’m...- Forty Deuce
