Default My first Disco :)

Prior to coming to this forum I bought a 2003 HSE7. Its loaded and looks brand new inside and out. It has 68,000 miles. No oil leaks ect. the truck really looks and rides very nice. I had no experience with LRs' but ive allways loved the way they look.

After purchasing the truck, I found this forum and now I am aware of the problems associated with this year model. To make a long story short, after reading up on all the problems I decided today to purchase a 3 year 36 month extended warranty from the dealership in Dallas,TX where I bought it. It cost me $2,577 but I thought that was the security I needed in order to enjoy my new truck. Just a quick thanks to all you guys for your input in the various threads ive read.

I have one quesiton. I have a 21' foot bass boat, are these trucks any good for towing a boat?

Thanks
GODSDOZER

I love bass fishing.

make sure that extended warranty will cover the "associated problems" you have read about. oh yeah, welcome aboard!

You have probably read the few things you NEED to do to bring your new ride up to speed. 1st make sure you take care of your front drive shaft.
