    Living up to its unreliable history

    To the OP’s point, I don’t think they’re unreliable but my experience was different than his: I buy new and don’t keep them long. When I got rid of it, I got a good trade-in value, despite it being in an accident (got rear ended, causing damage worth $6K) and not having cold weather package, in...

    Living up to its unreliable history

    I agree with your opinion. Hopefully, LR will come back to its origins (and senses) and at least with the Discovery offer us a classic, boxy, straight line design, full size, 3-row, off-road capable SUV with a cutoff rear window (and with a shifter) that stands out from the masses like the LR4 did.

    Living up to its unreliable history

    Is he the guy that created the Evoque? After the Evoque everything started to turn into bigger versions of it. The LR4 was the last one to go but now it’s just another version of the Evoque design. I never understood why they would make such a vehicle but it was priced low and probably had an...

    I still don’t understand why any designer at Land Rover would think it was a good idea to replace this With this

    Living up to its unreliable history

    All black interior. Another plus for the LC was the shifter in the center console. I hate the knob shifters like The one LR put on the new vehicles.

    Living up to its unreliable history

    Don’t know about testaments. Just stating the facts: I checked the invoice and it states $25K for the LR4 and $80K for the LC. My point is in the five years I owned our LR4 and through 65K miles I had a great ownership experience, no problems with reliability and then got a good value on...

    I have had a loaner D5 for a week Ask Me Anything (LR4 owner)

    That's what we ended up with after trading in our LR4 (2013 HSE) after 5 years and 65K miles. We didn't like the Discovery 5 and the Land Cruiser checked all the boxes. Technology is not up-to-date, not even compared to our 2013 LR4, but the ride is amazing, the looks are great (not rounded like...

    Living up to its unreliable history

    I had a Prado, but it is far from a Land Cruiser. Not sure why they dont sell it in the U.S. but it would probably sell well at the reduced price. The LR4 was valued at $20K on trade-in for a new Disco priced at $75K by Land Rover Fairfield. The Toyota dealer had offered me $25K for my LR4 on...

    Living up to its unreliable history

    That is exactly my point. I got one of the last HSE V8s (non lux) built exactly like we wanted it. We used it 5 years and put 65k worry-free miles on it. I towed our camper, carried my dirt bike on a hitch carrier, drove on snow, mud, sand and everything in between. I never did anything to it...

    Living up to its unreliable history

    Then again, I got $32K on trade-in for our LR4, after 5 years, 65K miles and a purchase price of $56K. I can’t complain on resale value either. Having said that, the Land tiver dealer only offered me $20K on trade for the new Disco.

    Living up to its unreliable history

    Back in 2013 I couldn’t find anything that met the specs of the LR4 and came in under $60K. I wasn’t even looking at the Land Cruiser back then. We had just moved from Panama to the U.S. and sold our Diesel Discovery 4. We wanted nothing else but a new LR4, ideally the Diesel version but that...

    Living up to its unreliable history

    I paid $56K back in 2013 for a special order LR4. Back then that included the traction control system, pneumatic suspension and low ratio transfer case with the blocker and full size spare, which is what I want/need. When I built something similar last month, the new Disco came up to $75K. My...

    Living up to its unreliable history

    Sell it. Buy a new one if you like it. Buy something else if you don’t (I got a LC). No sense in keeping a vehicle you don’t like just because a lot of people on a LR forum like it. Also, buying new has it’s financial disadvantages but it does have its advantages when dealing with issues under...

    Living up to its unreliable history

    I loved both my LR4s and the RRS and did find them capable off road. None of them gave me any problems and were very reliable. The new one, I find duller and unappealing than anything else in the market. I test drove it and it did nothing for me. So when it came time to replace our 2013 LR4 I...

    LR4 Hitch Receiver and other parts

    Used LR4 Hitch receiver Used rubber cargo mat New front brake kit from Atlantic British (rotors, OEM pads and OEM sensor) We traded in our LR4 and these bits and pieces are left over in our garage. Make me an offer.

    BFG AT KO2 275/65-18 (31.7") fairly new - 5

    I’d be interested but am in the East Coast. In my experience selling take-off tires (fresh out of the dealer lot) you should expect to receive half of what they are when new, max.

    DIY: Front brake rotor replacement

    I have a set of Atlantic British rotors and OEM pads that had bought to replace before we traded in our 2013 LR4. Let me know if anyone is interested and make me an offer. They’re just sitting in the garage in an unopened box.

    Get the Land Cruiser... You will not regret it. I’m just on my second day of ownership but it is amazing. It is more money than the Discovery ($87K) but it is very nice and arguably the most capable/reliable SUV out there.

    Living up to its unreliable history

    I owned a 2013 RRS, 2011 Discovery 4 and a 2013 LR4. All great vehicles and flawless in performance, but I never kept one for more than 5 years and 65K miles. I have also owned a few BMW bikes: 2006 R1200GS, 2009 F800GS, 2011 F800GS and 2014 R1200GS (current). All great bikes, very capable and...

    Living up to its unreliable history

    We just traded in our 2013 HSE with 65K miles since new, done in 5 years. This was our second LR4 (first was a 2011 TDV6 HSE) which we only kept for 2 years and 20K miles. I did all the service and maintenance at the dealer we bought it from, once a year and never had any serious issues. It was...
