LR5 Release Updates?

Jesus, look how high that liftgate is in the lifted position on the far right truck!

Lol, so the button to close the liftgate is less of a luxury and more of a necessity for anyone under 6'4" it would seem...

Whoa, did not see extended-lift-mode coming!

Is this an option or are there aftermarket lift kits already!?

that poor guy leaning on the edge of the glass that wont go down all the way... maybe he can take a rest later under the massive trunk lid on the baby flap. *sigh*.

JFC!!!! They couldn't find TWO FRIGGIN INCHES of space to get that window all the way into the door?!??! Unbelievable.

I agree. Forget sitting in the back of this on a nice day, windows open, resting your arm on the.... window?!? Stupid.

I think it is just the rear spoiler messing with your eyes. IMOP powered lift gate is right up there with eco start stop in terms of utterly annoying. ...... almost as bad as rear windows that roll all the way down.

Ha. Perhaps.

Yep, nothing more annoying than a window that doesn't roll all the way down. Can't believe anyone at LR signed off on that.

My LR4 also hasn't seen a temp above 45 degrees since I bought it, so can't fully judge on the start/stop feature yet...

Should still be working once engine temp is normal, might be broken.

There is a separate thread discussing how most of them are broken, not that we are complaining. Mine stopped working about 3 months ago... probably the only time during LR ownership when I have been pleased something broke!

$917 for roof rails ........

So much for putting a canoe on the roof with the large rear door, and tying it down fore and aft

Or the iconic ladder.

Well, after looking in the owners manual, it seems ~ 32° is the trigger for the auto start/stop. It has been warmer than that if not by much. I assume now that mine isn't working, but with 5 years left on my warranty I have no desire to fix it right now...

Over to that thread I suppose.

Whoever engineered the third row seats in the LR4 should have been in charge of those windows. It's amazing how the seats flip around so perfectly in the space given.
