My first post on this site, not necessarily a newbie on this forum thing, though.
I own this LR4 since 2012, she's a 2010 LR4 HSE Lux, bought it with 30k miles and now has 70k. Not a single issue other than some minor electronic glitches that go away after a restart.
Last week my best friend who owns a Raptor invited me to go off roading, I immediately accepted and got some all terrain tires for my LR4, I have gone off road many times before on different trucks, but this one was special..
I cannot believe how capable this machine is, it doesn't look as fearsome as a Raptor, or a Wrangler Rubicon, it doesn't scream OFF ROAD, no it won't take the comfort out either just because it is a capable off road vehicle.
We went to Ocala Off Road Park last Monday and it rained the night before, the park was totally muddy and I can say it is a very tough off road place, well, this truck handled it all with extreme ease, it made it look simple and I actually had to get my buddy on the raptor unstuck a couple times, the raptor got stuck on areas were the LR4 didn't even seem to care.
Deep mud, not-too-deep not-too-shallow river crossing, steep muddy climbs, rock crawling, etc.
I do not have the rear locker, I never needed it either, the software that controls the traction is unbelievable. Very nice Land Rover, I love my LR4 even more now.
The only thing I didn't like? Cleaning it later...
