Currenly have an 06 LR3 4.0 with (270,000 km) 170,000 miles. It has been a great truck and have recently repaired an issue with a water leak that caused a short (lowering, fault lihgts ets.). Did not spend much on that as it was only labour so I don't have alot of money into in the past couple years. It will need tires and brakes soon (before winter) so am trying to factor that in.
My wife and I both love the truck so if possible would like to stick with an LR3 or LR4.
There is another 06 LR3 nearby that is a 4.4 HSE with "only" 75,000 miles on it. Was thinking of having a good look and wondered what I sould look for/be thinking about. Is the 4.4 as reliable as the 4.0? It has a few more toys vs. my SE but I don't care about those...just love the drive of the truck. I don't off road with mine but have used it a lot for hauling home reno materials etc.
I have done a complete front end, new air conditioning compressor, and a complete new rear wheel assembly on one side since buying mine several years ago. I assume I will face some of those same things with the 4.4 Other than that, not sure if there will be a big difference on maintenance.
Have looked at several otheres over the past few months and most I have seen with half the mileage of my truck were in much worse shape cosmetically. If the inside and paint was not looked after, my assumption is the mechanicals were not either. Would appreciate opinions!
Thanks.
