    Kuat NV Bike Rack (hitch mount) on LR4

    I put together my Kuat NV this afternoon (gift to self) with the 2 bike add-on. Now I'm not sure how I'm going to store it in my garage. Any ideas? Bonus points to whoever can also provide a picture. By the way, I love the rack, but am surprised how heavy it is.

    Why no chains on rear wheels?

    Ace - I'm just north of you in OKC. We had part one of the storm this evening, expecting part two over night. I used my LR4 to pull my BMW off the side of the road. LR4 had no problems on the ice and snow. I agree with other posters, don't sweat the chains, just drive smart and let your truck...

    Talk me Down !!!

    Expat - Are you suggesting that because there are more LC's that LR's in Djibouti that the LC is the better choice for you? I would rethink your criteria for making that decision. While it's clear the folks in Djibouti have a preference for the LC, you should make the decision on what YOU prefer.

    Running boards / side steps

    Installed the Romik's today and I must say I'm pretty pleased with how they look. A friend helped me put them on, it took us an hour and forty-five minutes. I paid $400 with free shipping from Amazon.

    Talk me Down !!!

    Well said, and I couldn't agree more. OP - Have you considered a MY13? While the window is closing, I'm certain you could find one close to your specs. Good luck!

    Can't seem to be able to program homelink

    Any thoughts on how to program for a community gate (no access to a special button ont he motor)? My garage works fine...I just can't get the gate to work.

    Load Space Cover - did your 2013 vehicle come with one?

    Same here. I also kept the beige cargo cover from my 2010. If anyone wants it send me money for shipping and it's yours.

    Anyone seen Luxor?

    Not sure on color either. From what I understand, Sirius is not something you can add later on. I use it every time I drive and love having it. I had the vision assist on my 2010, but did not get it on my 2013. I suppose it can be handy if you park close to curbs a lot, or if you do a lot of...

    Official 2014 Changes to LR4

    umbertob - thanks for posting! Why does the price sheet still reflect the HK sound system rather than the Meridian?

    2014 LR4 on Landrover.com

    I shared your optimism until I test drove the RRS with the SCV6. It just didn't feel like enough to me after having owned a 2010 and expecting more. I'm now a proud owner of a 2013.

    2014 LR4 on Landrover.com

    What we think we know is this. It won't be called a Discovery in the US, still an LR4 (not sure where you are from). MY13 has the stick, based on what's been revealed by the car mags, the 2014 models will have the dial shifter and paddle shifters along with ASS (auto start stop), an 8-speed...

    What do you think, it looks better stock grill or black one

    I think the black grill is a nice mod...well done.

    Running Boards

    I agree with TLB, it really comes down to appearance preference. My colleague bought the ones referenced in your link. I quite like them actually. Not too fancy, but very useful!

    Showoff Your LR4

    I really like the look of my new 20" 10-split spoke wheels, but they took me about 30 minutes to clean!!!!! Also, I am pretty happy about the full size spare with matching wheel....that Heavy Duty Package is an absolute no brainer in my opinion.

    Decision Time

    Many thanks to all of you for your input. I pulled the trigger on the 2013 today. Today has gone exceptionally well. First off, the dealership gave me 4700 off of MSRP. So my $64,220 truck ended up being $59,481. On top of that their finance guy gave me 1.69% on a 60 month term for the...

    Decision Time

    Good advice. I just made a trip to the dealership to 1) take a look at the 2013 I ordered, and 2) drive the RRS. My impressions: The SCV6 didn't necessarily feel like it was lacking, but I absolutely notice the difference from the NAV8. I felt like on the Highway pushing it fast up to...

    Decision Time

    About two months ago I put in an order for a 2013 to my specifications. I was told it would arrive in October, which was fine because I was anticipating the news on the 2014 model. A few weeks ago I got an update that the 2013 I ordered would arrive on 9/25. Well, today I got a call that it's...

    Considering a 2013 / 13 used LR4 - Advice please!

    Funny you mention that. I've asked about the brakes and rotors at every service visit and they keep telling me I'm good. My wife and I must be really light brakers. I'm approaching 43k miles, so I'm assuming I'll be due very soon. Also, I'm wondering if the previous owner who put on the first...

    Considering a 2013 / 13 used LR4 - Advice please!

    I have a 2010 that I bought used in 2011. I had the same concerns about the LR brand. I must say, this truck has been relatively low maintenance. Aside from oil changes and new tires I haven't had to do a thing. That being said, owning one out of warranty still scares me, so I'm about to...

    Thanks for sharing the video...that's good perspective.

    Official 2014 Changes to LR4

    What am I missing here? The 2013 has a 0-60 time of 7.5, the 2014 is stated to have a 0-60 time of 7.7. Losing two-tenths of a second seems like a pretty insignificant loss. Especially if picking up 5-6 mpg improvement. Thoughts? Also, I agree with not feeling as fast or sounding as...

    2014 LR4 on Landrover.com

    Thanks for clarifying, that makes a lot more sense. The 0-60 time still impresses me...I just can't see how they can only drop two-tenths of a second with the SCV6 without dropping any serious weight.

    2014 LR4 on Landrover.com

    Thanks for posting. A couple thoughts... I'm curious how the SCV6 will rate for towing capacity. I'm surprised that the SCV6 0-60 speed only changes by one-tenth from the NAV8. I'm a fan of the 8 speed transmission and paddle shifters, I see these as a positive change. I'll believe those MGP...

    Official 2014 Changes to LR4

    Well, at least we finally have something official. Two questions still remain for me. 1) will paddle shifters be an option? and 2) will the gear shifter change? I'm anxious to see what the new wheels look like. The 2013 I ordered arrives on the 25th...I have just shy of two weeks to decided...
