So I let you in on a little secret. YW

CPT Tony was the step dad of some chick I know who grew up there. When he died they had a parade down Duval for his FUNeral.

You should see what the dealership has for loaners, because you'll spend more time driving those.

Seriously, talk me out of it!
Buddy's wife has one.


Don't. It has had the same recall done 3 times on it in two years. Thermostat failure.

Agree 100%, why I said talk me out of it. I have almost pulled the trigger on a Defener or LR4 several times, those facts you mentioned stopped me.


BUT, I REALLY do love the way they look and love the way they drive!

Have not looked at that.


On my current list, Escalade, Denali, GX470. Need something bigger and safe to haul the things around and pull the trailer when needed.


My Denali, by far, was my favorite car (besides the vettes). Never had buyers remorse after getting the Denali. Hauled the boat we had like a dream, handled perfectly in the snow when we went to Colorado to snowboard/ski, very comfortable to ride in. LOVED it.

And it'll be worth half what you paid after a year's depreciation.

Yeah, old ones are appreciating, but new ones depreciate bad.

Navigator then and you will end your search.

The newest model started in 2018 so you could save yourself some money buying a CPO Lincoln.

Go take a look. We love ours.
