Hi all - new user and new LR owner.
After 20+ years of Toyota's sewing machine like reliability (1994 Toyota "Truck" with 215k miles, 2007 4Runner with 115k miles) I just took the plunge and bought one of my dream trucks - 2016 LR4 LUX - White with Almond. Trading in the 4Runner. Also adding 7 year / 100k warranty....JUST IN CASE.
Wife and I needed a 3rd row vehicle and mini van was not an option. Sequoia was too big... Land Cruiser was too expensive....GL-S didn't have 4x4 pedigree of the others...
Pick it up Saturday and can't wait. Always in the back of my thoughts I'll have the reliability thing on my mind, but in my extensive research I did not find much constantly wrong with the 2014+ models.... they eat gas and brakes.... okay...they are heavy trucks I can accept that. Car and Driver said it wasn't quick as other trucks..I have a car if I want to go "quick". Just as long as I can always get out if the weather is ever bad.
Have been reading board for weeks in my research and wanted to get started using it in case I needed support since my dealer is 90 miles away!!!
Apologize ahead of time for many of the dumb questions to come....and happy to finally be a Land Rover owner!!!
