Yes, the 2013 for US returned with a factory hitch and braked trailer tow rating up to 7000 lbs. 09-12 for US market were effectively 0 lbs without custom work because there was no hitch or mounting point.

Yes, I agree. Maybe I will get a 2013 G in 6 years or so ;) Hope to see you this weekend at the mini expo.

You statement implying that one person could do "more" or better alignment than another. While an incompetent tech may not be able to it correctly, there is no magical alignment to be found that can allow factory parts to account for too much lift. Therefor, you guys, no matter how great you...

These items make camping and travel so nice. I did all of these too and make the most use of running the fridge and other hot 12v with no worries. I do use the inverter sometimes but mostly on long trips where I need to use the laptop for which I have no socket type charger. I assume there...

Keep your wits about you out there. I can hear the banjos in the distance..... ;)

I realize the G63 may seem a bit over the top, but the G550 is plenty power and the same otherwise, in fact easier to set up for real use. The new RR however really is too softened for me especially with all the things like tire size limitations. I looked at one yesterday and they are quite...

Aside from pricing whenever it's the new model, would anyone here really consider buying a new G class of either US build for overlanding? It seem to be a general consensus that nobody will buy a new G class for overlanding or that the people who will buy at new price levels, do not visit any...

I think you are correct and the supercharged model may still be standard including rear differential lock. Aside from outrageous pricing, which can also be debated a little, would anyone here really consider buying a new G class of either US build for overlanding?

It just occurred to me, that tow truck, flat bed really, may be on air springs.... ;)

Everyone, get the Pure Gas APP.... shows stations and we as the users update stations changing which grades are pure or closed, or only taking payment during business hours, etc. It's great for traveling. It would surprise me if an engine designed to run on 87 would benefit much from higher...

I cannot find a single discussion on fuel octane (87) regarding if this is more versatile for out of the US such as south of the border, remote Canadian areas, and of course shipping to other places. I have been considering other vehicles compared to the LC200 and all others state required...

None seems to take into consideration the fact that a new LR4 can easily be $20,000 less than a new LC200. Or, even just comparing loaded to loaded pricing, the LR4 still tops out around $64k. Too bad you can't order a new LC without paying for the silly DVD in the headliner. Obviously you...

Disco 2: "oh hell we're going in the woods.....ooooh, made it!" LR4: "we're we going to climb a hill somewhere, I swear I saw a slanted slippery hill somewhere but couldn't seem to find it" Granted, the wide fat D2 tires were actually making it worse.

This makes sense. Yes, it's not like the oem wheels were already stretching the limits. They seem pretty conservative so adding 30mm isn't too much. Is that the exact amount? Is it the Terrafirma spacer? You're making me think it wouldn't be so bad to get an LR4.... I would actually be...

I would not hold my breath on that one. Doesn't it seem more likely they would just bring one engine for the Discovery 5 and make it the SC V6? I don't really care as much what it is anymore, just as long as it has at least 400 lb-ft and an easy to attain highway 20mpg or better. You know...

I came across a thread on Benzworld 11 years old titled "G-Wagen vs Land Cruiser". Pretty interesting how these types of questions recirculate every generation. Here is the last post from January 2002 by someone with a lot of experience supposedly testing them, etc in varying environments...

You may not have thought of this but it's not too hard to do alone when you have the gutters. Set up the support rails and cross bars on the vehicle (they sort of link together to stay set without bolts). Then just lift the bare rack onto them starting at the side. The rack is only 80 lbs if...

Others can chime in but because I have just made the attempt to use a 32" tire on stock 18" wheels, I can tell you that 32" BARELY fits and this is not without rubbing at various situations that are not even "extreme". With an LR3 you may be aware of the "nubs" "bumps" in steel that are...

Thanks. I think I recall that idea but thought it was a temporary plan seeing as the spacers add unnecessary stress to the system which is already being stretched a bit. It seems that lr3 rotor swap would also do the trick seeing as I've never felt wanting for more braking on my lr3 and it has...
