    Is the LR4 good for daily highway travel?

    Not sure what your other needs for this vehicle are but there are much better on highway SUVs. MB GLE for one.

    Is the LR4 good for daily highway travel?

    It sounds like you have already made up your mind and are looking for us to help justify your decision. Nothing we say here matters. BTW, it is not clear what your overall needs are. Do you need such a capable off road vehicle or just want the added comfort of having all wheel drive in a big...

    Another LR4 Tire Post

    A little update after 1900 miles. I'm starting to notice a little "feathering" on the front tires. The tread blocks on the outside edge of both front tires are not wearing evenly. The leading edge of the block is not the same height as the trailing edge. Not surprising since I've been...

    Another LR4 Tire Post

    I'm on my second LR4 and 6th set of tires overall. All 255/55R19. 3 sets have been Continental (2 from the factory), 1 Pirelli, 1 Bridgestone and now Michelin. Most of the miles are on dry and wet pavement with a little light snow duty and an occasional trek across well groomed trails. On road...

    Lr4 Brakes

    22,000 miles of mostly city and mountain driving and the brake pad warning light just came on this weekend. Going in today. Compared to my other 4 vehicles, the LR4 has the worst brake wear of them all. As far as overall issues, the 2010 LR4 is the worst car I've ever owned in over 30...

    Dash vibration poll--who also has this?

    Do you mean a noise caused by vibration? If so, yes, mine just developed one last week.

    latest LR4 comparison

    I know what you mean. I tested all of them and found the interior of the LR to be well above any of the others. Also agree with the rest of the negatives. Damn thing is HEAVY and THIRSTY! The ride is a bit soft but I am used to driving some very stiff vehicles like my 335ci, X5 and Duramax...

    K&N Airfilters

    I don't take manufacturer propaganda very seriously. Hard to not draw a line from a misbehaving MAF to a recently installed K&N. Back to my point about speed having a bigger impact on mileage. Just drove from SF Bay Area down to Indio. First tank was 270 miles on highways 101, 152 and 5...

    K&N Airfilters

    The 1 MPG improvement sounds like a stretch. I've never seen any improvement in my other vehicles compared to a new OEM. I only like the KN because I can wash them instead of replacing the OEM more often. Some cars do not like them because they can mist small amounts of oil in the intrake...

    About to make the jump to LR4 from Toyota 4Runner

    The VW has boatloads of low end torque and a very smart 4WD system with real locking differentials (rear and center only, IIRC). It relies less on wheel braking to maintain traction than the LR4 and climbs hills without slowing down. The torque lets me stay in high range in more places than...

    About to make the jump to LR4 from Toyota 4Runner

    Not coming from Toyota. My LR4 replaced a GMC Yukon Denali but I also still have a VW Touareg and BMW X5. There are a lot of things that surprise me about the LR compared to the others. It is not as good off road as the VW or as stable in mountain driving as the BMW or as smooth as the GMC on...

    Gas mileage: report your real world numbers

    Yeah, I reset it when I fill up each time and before long trips. Highway averages are from SF Bay Area to SoCal via I-5 where speed limit is 70 but traffic runs more like 85. My last trip to Palm Springs averaged 69 MPH and just over 18 MPG for 468 miles (tank and a half). The city averages I...

    Gas mileage: report your real world numbers

    8-10 MPH average speed? Wow, that's slow! I think our city driving averages about 25-28 MPH.

    Gas mileage: report your real world numbers

    City driving after 7000 miles is averaging 12-13mpg. Highway trips with average speeds of 70mph are netting 17-18mpg.

    Multitude of problems

    I haven't had the exact problems you are experienceing with your LR4 but I too am feeling that Land Rover has not learned enough from their mistakes on the LR3. Too many ownership changes in recent years haven't helped.

    LR4 Halogen Bulb Upgrading - Highly Recommended

    Thanks for the tips. I read the manual and hope I understand it.

    LR4 Halogen Bulb Upgrading - Highly Recommended

    That's where I go for bulbs. Great prices. Hopefully, they will be easy to install :)

    Temperature setting reverts to celsius

    There is an update for this. See the dealer. My NAV would also revert to UK from USA.

    LR4 Halogen Bulb Upgrading - Highly Recommended

    I think you are right. I'll order a set for the fogs. For about $30, I can't really go wrong. Are these newer bulbs than the ones I bought last year?

    LR4 Satellite Radio Reception Issues?

    I hope so. Mine drops signal about 1 second AFTER going under lamp posts, road signs, power lines, etc. Bridges and overpasses it drops instantly and won't come back for several seconds after I'm out. The XM radios in my GM products work even under many 2-4 lane overpasses without a drop...

    LR4 Halogen Bulb Upgrading - Highly Recommended

    I am thinking of going the HID route with the fog lights since I have not gotten around to putting the CV bulbs in. I already have the HID headlights and the current fogs are so dull they useless. Still looking for a true plug and play kit that does not require slpicing or cutting. Do you...

    LR4 Halogen Bulb Upgrading - Highly Recommended

    I like the CV bulbs a lot and have them in most of my vehicles that can take them. Be ready to replace them often! I'm on my second set in my GM pickup in less than 2 years! The whiter light is not really noticable until you put one of the factory bulbs back in like I did. The factory bulb...

    First post LR4 owner

    My radio did the same thing a couple times. There is an update to fix it.
