Crazy I know but any 19" wheel suggestions?
On my wife's 2012 LR4 I went with Tire Rack Curva's in an 18" wheel (black alloy) for dedicated snows and the cost of tires was much lower. She liked the blach wheels so much on her white LR that when the stock Contis wore out (in less than 25K miles) I sold the factory wheels and that paid for...- johnny walker

New LR4 Owner
When you need tires you might think about buying tires and wheels (in 18" rims) from Tire Rack. Better tire selection, free mount and balance, and when I sold the factory wheels they came close to paying for the after market wheels. Black wheels would definitely look killer on the black truck...- johnny walker

Blown Engine in Range Rover with Supercharged 5.0 via Overheating
You have a very nice 2014 that for $18k you have a new engine with at least a 1 year warrantee. You sell it for $9k, add $18k and what can you get with a new engine for $27,000? I'd do the engine.- johnny walker

Selling question
You can also look on Copart.com for a totaled LR4 to buy and swap out the engine. Some cars you can bid on yourself, others you need a dealer license to bid on, but there is a link on their site to connect to one that will bid on it for you for a small fee.- johnny walker

Front hitch options?
I'm thinking you'll need to fab the front hitch and the rear hitch would be rated at the minimum the towing capacity. I, being a serious risk taker would rate it at the minimum of what ever it took to winch myself out. Another option would be a gas powered winch (usually powered by a chain saw...- johnny walker

How to sell a 2016 LR4 HSE Silver Edition?
Most Dealers will do a trade on a new car with you bringing your LR4 buyer to the dealer. They'll charge them the $495 or what ever their dealer fee is, which you can cut off the buyers sales price. That way you get private sales price, minus dealers charge, and save the taxes from the trade...- johnny walker
