    2015 side step -- really a side impact safety feature?

    Sorry to bring up an old thread but I am in the market for an LR4 and as a tall person I love being able to step in/out of a vehicle easily. The LR4 without bars is a nice, comfortable, natural ingress/egress. With the bars, the process is cumbersome and, to be honest, annoying. When we ordered...

    Impressed with Towing (6600lbs)

    Thanks for the great info, everyone. Knowing your experiences keeps me from having to consider towing as part of the test drive process. One question: Does the backup camera work well for guiding the ball to the hitch? I have wanted an LR4 for years, especially since selling my X5 and...

    Major Issue
