After years of debate, I finally bought one of these things despite the warnings of high costs, poor mileage, and electrical problems.
Now I have an LR4 and am experiencing high costs, poor gas mileage, and electrical problems.
That said, I love this truck.
On-road it is elegant and well-behaved;
Off-road it is unstoppable.
However, the LR4 is not for everyone.
It should be a purchase … based on emotion, as it is primarily an off-road truck that happens to drive quite well on the road.
If you think you'll like it - you'll love it.
If you're worried about cost or reliability, or if you never go off-road, then you may want to consider something else.
But then again, life is too short!
