I just returned from a Chicago area to the Mountains of Colorado trip (Poudre Canyon west of Ft. Collins) where I towed my 6500 lb travel trailer and got some 4-wheeling in. The towing took my MPG down to 5 - 6 mpg at times but the ride was pretty nice on the way out. On the way back, the wind did pick up and I had trouble at times keeping it straight, especially when being passed by Big Rigs. The MPG when towing it terrible but the LR3 does tow nicely.
When in the mountains, I did try the off road and the Hill Decent is nice. Hard to get used to but once my son read the manual and I learned the +- on the cruise control either increased or decreased the speed it was nice to use. I did manage to get some pics - see attached and make sure you look at them in order. Notice anything in the last pic? It took 2 hrs of digging and a tug from a passing Hunter (how lucky is that?) to get us down.
Every time I see a mound I want to try the LR3 out but I always hear my wife remind me of what happened on the last mound I tried to climb.
