And just one more detail to add to the confusion, the ediff is not included in the tow package. When I first built up my SE and selected tow package, the configurator showed the ediff page as a no cost option. I checked the box and sent it off to my dealer. The next day when I went through the sheet, I asked what happened to the ediff. Dealer checked and said it only comes with off road package. So be careful. That zero cost page that comes up on some builds is deceiving. No off road package means no ediff.

 

Thanks Umberto! I ordered an X-Dynamic HSE with offroad pack, advanced offroad capability pack, tow hitch, activity key, cold climate pack, extra rear AC unit for the dog, heated rear seats for the kids, better radio for me, center console refrigerator since I have that now, plus mats, onboard air compressor and roof cross bars. After a light gray LR3, red LR4 & dark gray LR4 I went with a black Defender. Tasman was a close second but I liked how the black plastic lower panels blended-in with the black paint. IMHO, it looks best with a blended color like black or Carpathian grey or a contrasting color like your silver.

ETA isn't until February, which is fine since I can take my LR4 through one more winter and ski season. (Or whatever this ski season will offer) Plus Nokian does not make a winter tire in the Defender tire sizes yet.

 

Sounds like a great build Paul, can't wait for you to receive it and share your impressions.
