Bought a new truck.

It's a 2012 Fiji White with Almond/Arabica interior. I ordered it fully loaded minus the rear dvd system. Here are some specs stolen from the press release because I don't want to type:

The 5.0 LR-V8 produces 375PS and 510Nm torque with low CO2 emissions of 328g/km. One of the secrets of the V8's efficiency is the centrally-mounted, multi-hole, spray-guided fuel injection system delivering fuel at a pressure of up to 2175psi (150bar) directly to each cylinder. The injectors are positioned to deliver fuel precisely to the centre of the combustion chamber for maximum air-fuel mixing and accurate combustion control. The charge cooling effects of the direct injection system allow a high compression ratio of 11.5:1 which further improves engine efficiency.

A number of clever design features include the industry-first, torque-actuated variable camshaft timing on all four cams. Unlike conventional systems which rely on oil pressure, these are actuated by the positive and negative torques generated by the opening and closing of the valves, reducing energy consumption. Cam profile switching (CPS) selects either a profile suitable for low speed running or another which gives increased lift for high performance.

And stuff like that. Now a few pics.

NICE. One of the best looking SUVs IMHO. Good choice on the colors too!

Wow that is just cool looking! I agree I really like the white color.

for high roller corvette guys like you and him i guess so.

Did you get it from fields? Lol i like their mini mountain terrain thing that they put you thru. Nice LR man!

I did order it from there yes. That course is entertaining. It's off road abilities are pretty impressive.

That interior is sweet.

Thanks it's one of my favorite parts about it. Here's a few more shots of the interior.


Just the front one opens the back roof is one large piece of glass.

Seems like it could have some decent power. I know thats not the reason you bought it by any means, but does it corner nicely and have some decent passing power?

It corners ok. Doesn't feel sporty but also doesn't feel like a barge at all. That was one of the things I didn't like about the Escalade and Lexus. The Porsche and BMW are both too small and can't tow worth a damn. It's got plenty of power that's for sure. Passing is definitely not an issue. It sounds awesome at wot too which I like.

What is the towing specs on that?

Amazing truck. LR's are at the top of my SUV list.

7700 something pounds and a great tow mode with trailer assist. Combined with the adjustable suspension, great visibility and long wheelbase, it's pretty much perfect. The only thing I'd ask for is more tongue weight. Probably won't be a problem for me though.
