Hello. I am not yet an LR guy, but am thinking an LR4 is in my future.
I currently have a orange TRD Pro 4 runner with 3" lift, bumper, sliders, rigid industries off road lights and a few other goodies.
After 2.5 years in it I'm getting the itch for something new. A 3rd row seat that's actually useable for someone up to 5' tall, while still being a proper off-road/ over landing vehicle is my dream. However, having never owned an LR in the past I am somewhat haunted by the reliability issues that have been reported for decades.
I'm currently looking for a '16 HSE LUX with the HD package and fewer than 20K miles.
Being new here I haven't had the time to peruse all the technicals, but one thing I can't seem to find is whether or not the towing package is included on these truck automatically or not. I've seen how to attach the receiver, but do they all come with that receiver and the ability to attach them or is this something I need to be looking for specifically? I do tow a moderate off-road pop up camper. (3500# fully loaded) so I need a towing package. Also, does the LR4 have an available brake controller? My Runner did not so I installed one which I could obviously transfer to the LR if needed. Just not sure if it's needed.
Lastly, any issues I should be concerned with or things I should look for in my search?
Thanks all. Looking forward to joining the ranks!
