    brake job cost?

    No braking problems to report. I think the only brakes and rotors I've ever had to replace was on a 2004 expedition at 6 years old a 110k miles. They were worn to the nubbins. It cost me right at $700 for all new pads, rotors and labor. Most of my vehicles get sold or traded off within 3 or 4...

    New LR4 Owner

    Damnit! It's posts like these that sway me back over to the LR4 camp just when I thought I was solidly settled in the domestic camp.... ;) Sum-beach.

    New LR4 Owner

    Keep in mind. EVERY domestic car maker has taken some sort of bailout or made a backroom deal, yes even Ford. Why do you think they are so committed to EcoBoost technology? They owe the government something to stay so committed to a product that will miraculously meet EPA testing standards, does...

    New LR4 Owner

    I think they are right about the RR and demand. I see a ton of new RR on the road. Way more than the RRS. My Mother-in-laws boss just bought a fully decked RR Autobiography, its beautifull. Zero sh!ts were given about price. People are buying them and paying the premium. Congrats on your...

    brake job cost?

    Yeah, I asked the saleslady about the brakes. She was straight up about it. She said yes, they eat brakes cause they are heavy vehicles. I was thinking to myself, that Ive driven 5k lbs domestics for years and brakes were never "eaten". Evidently, LR needs to get this resolved. You know Im...

    2012 vs. 2015 LR4 HSE LUX

    I get your point. Would be nice to have that oomph. It's whats sold so many EcoBoosts. Lol. But LR is cheating up a little with the 8 speed. It's spreads the available torque and HP so much better than the 6 speed could. So they can get away with less HP and ft/lbs and still stay very close to...

    2012 vs. 2015 LR4 HSE LUX

    I don't necessarily dissagree. However I'll take FI V6 in a 2k-3k lb vehicle, I'll take a FI V8 in a 4k lb or heavier vehicle vs NA respectively. You must keep the proper scale in regard to displacement and it must be done correctly. I had a supercharged Roush mustang and that thing got 25-27...

    2012 vs. 2015 LR4 HSE LUX

    I am firmly in the camp of.. there is no replacement for displacement. I will be purchasing a 2013 wth the V8. I love the feel and sound of a V8 and I tow too much to trust the job to a forced induction V6. LR should bring back the V8 and offer the SCV6 as an option...But thats just me LOL! I...

    2015 US Base LR4

    But you can play music from your phone through the USB connection, correct? Fwiw, interrupting Bluetooth audio streaming while plugged in is ridiculous. I have yet to have that issue from a domestic infotainment system. But as long as you can play music via USB that makes up for it.

    Extended warranty/service contracts/agreements

    I want a 2013 model and I'll get a certified pre-owned, which come with a 100k mile warranty but I think I'll buy some kind of service plan after I find out exactly what that pre-owned warranty covers. IF I have to buy some kind of coverage, it sounds like it's going to more than pay for itself.

    Who has extended warranties or services agreements? How are they working out? Thanks.

    brake job cost?

    Can you get a LR extended warranty or service agreement that covers these repairs? I have not bought my LR4 yet and these costs are BS.

    Any LR4 thefts?

    We do things a lot differently than before the recession but out of all the people we know, hardly anyone learned anything. We saw a lot of people file buncrupt and now those folks are right back in the same position and on the razors edge of their means. That's the age we live in. Gonna take a...

    Towing wih LR4

    Thanks for the info. I'll take that towing milage any day. If thats what I and up with Ill be fine with that. Over the years Ive got anywhere from 8-13mpgs while towing. More in the 12-13 range the past few years. My beam is 91". Ive never had a problem with the mirrors on anything with this...

    Any LR4 thefts?

    Yep, if you paid cash, then you don't need GAP insurance. It's real only good if you finance all or most of the purchase price. Just get the best car insurance coverage that you can find. Or put a GPS tracking device in your LR4 so it can be tracked if it gets stolen. If you're on it fast...

    Any LR4 thefts?

    I'm surprised you're not familiar with GAP insurance. Lol I have it on all of my vehicles including my boat. It's a very common add on at the time of purchase. Your dealership or financial institution will have GAP policies available for purchase. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GAP_Insurance...

    Towing wih LR4

    Hey there MBW Ive actually seen that picture on a google search. If your LR4 will pull that boat, then itll pull mine. LOL! If the old calculation of 10% of the weigh of the boat/trailer combo equals tongue weight, then I'm WELL within specs. What kind of MPGs do you get? Not that it matters...

    Towing wih LR4

    Thanks guys. From the power I sampled, it seems like it runs plenty strong enough. I love the load leveling and trailer sway control. Ive towed with similar sized SUVs before but Ive always shared towing responsibilities between two vehicles. Once I pick up an LR4, that will no longer be the...

    Any LR4 thefts?

    If theives want your car, they are gonna get it. Just get good insurance. #1 Get GAP insurance #2 Make your your policy has NEW car replacement (equity protection) of some kind. That way you dont take it in the shorts due to depreciation. This is very important especially if you dont have...
