Hello, I have a '05 LR3 that I have done lot of work on. I am keeping it (I think) and getting either a '12 or '14 RR Sport supercharged. A couple questions:

1. Is the unibody 2014 inferior for offroad and pulling a small trailer? I see it is 800 lbs lighter.

2. Would my LR3 18" spec'd wheels (spent a lot on them) fit the 2012 supercharged sport? I did Google this, just can't seem to get a good answer.

3. Are there preferences between the older body and motor vs. the 2014 changes? Anything else you like or don't like between the models?

TIA

 

1: No, if anything the unibody is stronger. Its only when you get into extreme towing (>10k lbs) that a frame on body is necessary.
2: I'd be suprised if they fit because of the calipers. When I ordered my aftermarket 20" wheels i was initially sent the wrong set (non supercharged) and even they didnt fit over the calipers.
3:I like the exterior styling of my 2012 way better than the 14, however the 14 is quicker and has a nicer interior.
