Pre-Owned: 2005-2009 Land Rover LR3 - Truck Trend Network
Settings are for grass/gravel/snow, mud/ruts, sand, rock crawl, and general on-road driving. There are some wrinkles to remember: for deep snow, use the sand setting. wet sand may be better dealt with by the mud/ruts setting. Where sport utility vehicles usually deploy ladder-frame or one-piece body construction, this one is a bit of both. It’s possible to have the front axle angled one way, the rear angled the other, and then open a passenger door as if the LR3 is parked on the street. Initially, trim levels were SE, with a 4. 0L V-6 making 216 hp and 254 lb-ft of torque and HSE, propelled by 300 hp and 315 lb-ft from a 4. 4L V-8. By 2008, when there was a mild facelift, the V-8 engine became the sole engine. Trim levels also changed that year to base, HSE, and HSE Lux. This could point to wheel alignment issues or problems with the air suspension, especially if said tire wear is accompanied by the vehicle sitting unevenly on its springs. Bushings will need replacing after 75,000 miles, and it could be a good idea to replace the front lower control arms as well. At around 40,000 miles, there may be some steering play from worn front tie-rod arms. The Terrain Response System is a clever piece of technology but also a complex one. Source: www.trucktrend.com
