My understanding is when the crossover pipe catastrophically fails the coolant level sensor doesn’t have enough time to issue a warning.

This is my understanding; I did recently receive a low fluid warming on my 2012. I plan to tackle the timing chains, crossover pipes and coolant pipes later this summer...

Super bummer and I feel your pain as I am in a somewhat less crappy position. 110k and I know the chains are loose. I have it parked up while I think about it.
I was considering donating it as a 5th option but I don't even know if that would affect my taxes with the new standard deduction. In your case there is some ability to say you donated a $25k truck to charity.

The technology to warn us is there, but not implemented. Its all I can conclude.

I have a 2014 Lr4 3.0SCV6. I love it, but, I have found that under heavy loads it will use oil. If I tow heavy or drive a prolonged amount of time at 85 MPH it can use a qt in a day (around 500 miles). Under normal driving it is a qt between oil changes. I change the oil depending on conditions every 3,000~5,000 since I purchased with 83k miles in Jan '23, its now at 110k. I know the previous owner had all the service done at the LR dealer with oil changes between 6k~10k‍

I am also curious what was done with yours.

Is there an option to put the 4.4 V8 into the LR4 and replace the 3.0L?

Considering the amount of ECU changes/configuration updates you need to get the supercharged 5.0 into an LR4, it would be nearly impossible.

I know someone has LS swapped an LR4 too, but once again, project car, not daily driver.

So yes it is possible, but not practical.
