You won't be dissapointed if you go with a newer sport. That next platform is holding up better in my opinion. The biggest problem I see with the D5 is water leaking in at the windshield causing all the electrical issues. Modules on the floor get wet.Thanks, that helps to have a reference. It's pretty tough to find a good one. Looking at a 2013 HSE LUX with HD package at LR Nashville. They also want a premium for it $24K with 87K miles. KBB is 20K average. Might give up and look at the newer RRS or D5.
Brakes are the last thing the traction control uses to keep traction. It's probably the first response that the driver feels in the seat of his pants but, by that time the timing has been retarded, trans has been upshifted. The truck is constantly monitoring the yaw rate and steering wheel position and has decided that the driver is a fuck up when it starts acting. I would consider it an extension of stability enhancement and terrain response.I mean, it's brakes-based traction control - so of course, if you are planning to keep wheels in the air for hours, a locker will save the brakes. Don Happel from NCLR drove the Rubicon in his 07 LR3 - don't know what additional goodies his truck had.
Other than that...
Seriously?Brakes are the last thing the traction control uses to keep traction.

LR4 Manual said:Traction control
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
In conditions where one or more wheels has a tendency to spin, Electronic Traction Control (ETC) works with the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system to improve mobility. If a wheel is spinning, ETC automatically brakes that wheel until it regains grip. This braking activity causes the engine power to be transferred to the remaining wheels. Some noise may be generated when the brakes are applied.
No I'm not confusing all the systems. Just saying all those functions and then some are controlled by terrain response. ABS is in charge of wheel slip, I'll give you that. But in my opinion ABS is no longer king of this domain. Just a lowly subordinate monitoring wheel slip and applying a brake or two if the driver really sucks at this.Seriously?
What about the steering wheel straight and zero yaw rate?
Are you confusing it with stability control?
