I am trying to deciede if the LR3 is the right truck to purchase. Getting mixed reviews from the net and need some information from the people that have and drive these trucks daily. Any insite would be greatly appreciated.

 

I have a 05 LR3 SE with 69000 miles and I love it. Will drive it till 100,000 and get another one.

 

I'm a first time Land Rover owner and I've been really happy with my 05 LR3. I've had a minor tailgate problem, and an air compressor problem, but it was all covered under factory warranty. Other than those little hickups my LR3 has been driven hard and put away wet without any complaints. Its reliable on and off road. I would try and get the extended warranty if you can, one less thing to think about. I love it and if I had to do it again I would buy the Land Rover again for sure.

 

I plan to replace my LR3 with another one but not for a while. Love mine.

 

My 05 has 87k and I can't wait to get another one...Yes, there have been issues along the way. It is a vehicle that takes regular maintenance...it goes in every 5k or so, and because I use it seriously offroad, it sometimes goes in more often, usually for some suspension or alignment related issue, because it is my daily driver as well.

It isn't a Toyota...it is a Land Rover, with heritage and capabilities that other vehicles wish they had. However the lore of the vehicle does have its price, and if you are looking for an economy vehicle, look elsewhere.
