Just so you know OP, the HD package adds a rear locker and a low range center diff on the '14 and newer vehicles. The low range center diff is pretty much a must if you go off road.
Even if you don't go off road, however, the HD package is something that's probably going to start affecting the resale values of these in about 3 to 4 years, I would guess--around the time Joe Sixpack Overlander is looking at LR4s. So, while you might not care now, it could be a factor in the future. The issue is that it seems like only about 1 in 15 LR4s have the HD package, which means the odds of you finding one with the mileage you want and the options you want are very slim.
@ryanjl no HD package in this one. but i dont offroad in the slightest. Impact on resale value makes sense - but with such low mileage, i'm hoping i own this thing for 10+ years!
I'd only been looking at 15s or 16s but im picky about the wheels - i want 10 spoke. it seemed everything with low enough miles had the 7 spoke. then low miles & black design pkg on this 14 were enough to grab my attention. i think i'm hearing a consensus of, "i love my 13 v8 but if i was looking for 14+ scv6 this would be a good buy & fair deal if you're okay with no HD" .. right?!
because i will be the cliche rover owner - mall crawling 80% of time, other 20% will be road tripping. camping in a corn field a few times a summer in iowa at a concert venue doesnt require much mechanically for terrain purposes so i think i'm gonna give it a go!
