Great question, one that I have thought of many times..
I think that the styling of this truck possibly represents the last boxy, "safari" style Land Rover.. That is huge for collectability, but the truck is complicated, tricky to repair, and expensive to maintain in the long run..
I often wonder how the miles of wiring and computers will hold up over the next 15 years, along with part availability.. I went through this with 944 turbos and 911 Carreras; over the years the forum threads change into how-to instructions on repairing circuit boards, rebuilding gages, and salvaging relays.
We've got our arms around the major LR4 issues of today, and they can be cumbersome. This list will grow as our vehicles age. As long as we can keep pace with providing reasonable fixes, I believe they will be collectable. When the problems overcome us, we will have to retrofit. If that is not an option, the model is on its deathbed.
For some reason, I'm now sad...
