Thread: What would you change on your D3/D4, RRS?

I was driving mine this morning with the stereo off to enjoy engine sounds and that's all I had - mechanical noises, wind noise - no rattles or squeaks. That said, I've fixed a few rattles and squeaks over the years so ... Get 'em on it !!

Unfortunately I don't have the time to have the car at the dealer all day for some rattles every few weeks.

Hence why we bought an $80,000 car (for it's build quality).

That's why they give you a loan vehicle.

And you give them concise information.


I've been in $100k+ vehicles (Audi, BMW, Mercedes and a Ferrari) that all had rattles/creaks.


Get onto the dealer and get it sorted.

Option a long range tank.

Option a real jack.

Option a rear wheel carrier. In fact LR could option a lot on a rear bar setup.

Option a second battery.

Option a forward parking camera.

Replace the satnav with anything...............as anything would be better.

Ability to lock out DSC when not in normal mode.

A more comprehensive carputer display.

I agree with all above
Perhaps LR could offer an option pack for Remote Area Travel= a "RAT" pack including most of suggestions already made including those above. It could come in 2-3 levels to suit customer needs- some may simply want 18" rims/tyres + better range; others full remote touring capability with expedition rack,bull bar (a decent one), 2nd spare wheel (carrier), water proof snorkel,DBS, Off road mapping etc. With factory warranty I would think such an option pack(s) would sell well. I suggested it to my dealer a couple of years ago.....he laughed....obviously selling enough without this idea- pity!

I would like to see
1. the option of 17" wheels
2. A decent tow hitch placed in the rear bar like the Land Cruiser
3. A larger fuel tank say 90-100 lts
4. Space for a second battery, as in the D3
5. Retain current rear tailgate but make it open level with the back floor
6. Interior lights which go out like the D1 when doors are left open

Ivan
D3 done 195000 kms (lots of outback roads/tracks) and no rattles

Whilst some of the suggestions would be nice, I would just like to see the range and choice of third party options you see for Toyota vehicles for example.

I have a brand new MY15 D4 and have been looking at starting the fun part of buying a new vehicle - setting it up....

It sounds like in the dash and also somewhere in the A pillars also around the passenger seat, the problem for me is a 500km return trip to the dealer and just not driving the car much any more and not having time to do the trip!! But i will get onto it soon.

For the price point it's at it's disappointing to be frank.

Agree mine started early there was one under the steering column fixed that myself and just general squeaks and movement as you go over a gutter and so forth also going up a dirt road can hear them to!! Where as took a mates 200 series with 210000kms for a drive no squeaks or rattles and believe me I'm the biggest toyota non lover around but, i agree for the price it does annoy me lots to!! Im hoping when they bring out a new model I'm guessing D5 they will make a new dash and fix it up.

Im the same as well dont have time and live 500km return trip from my local dealer so its a bloody pain in the backside!! My lexus i had a few years ago brand new never had any and my wifes Q5 with 140000kms she just got off a friend of ours and its been dirt roads and around has none at all!! Ill just have to try and find time and fit it in to do it!

You lot are soft...

My local dealer is 800km return.
My preferred dealer is 2,800km return.

If you are that time poor I feel for you...
