Hey Count,
I actually reread my original post again and it does sound quite emotional.
That was 2 weeks into ownership and I went against my wife's choice. she didn't want the LR4 because of all the perceived reliability problems and then it happened to us in the first 2 weeks. So yes, I was quite disappointed.
Now after 6k miles, I am quite happy with my decision.
I have to tell you, the LR4 in my opinion is extremely reliable. Almost too reliable. Very non-LR if you ask me. I feared this too when I jumped from BMW to LR. But my time of ownership with the LR has been extremely good. Sure, weird things here and there. But nothing as weird as half the stuff that would happen to my BMWs of past. Like stalls (high pressure fuel pumps) failing at highway speeds that literally shut the car down at 80 mph and almost caused a major rear-end catastrophe. The US government got involved and made BMW recall ALL turbo cars… but of course, you don’t read this because BMW has a massive PR force. Think of BMW like Bank of America, or the current administration, they HIDE the truth. (sorry, I’m going way off topic…)
Anyway, for fun, I cruise (troll) other car forums and cannot believe half the stuff I read.
Take the new X3 by BMW for example. Broken tailgates... gaps between the doors do not match, mis-matched mirrors, engine noises, clunking in the steering, I mean, the list goes on... and I just laugh to myself... because LR used to be that maker, now LR is seems better set than even the best.
Anyway, it was just in good fun and I hope I didn't offend you. And you made the right choice IMO... the LR4 is really an amazing truck. As for the cameras... I think they tried too hard with something that is just too new... and it's really dinging them.
