Opinion wanted: LR2 vs LR3 vs Laredo
I want advice from people who have owned or driven any one of these three. I am going to be buying it in the fall and getting rid of my truck. It has to be strong (so 2007 Laredos are a no go as they dont come with the 4.7 any more in that trim level) I have a black 2006 loaded Laredo with 22k miles on it for $24xxx, a 2005 navy blue LR3 (4.4 V8) with 25k on it for $28xxx, and an orange 2007 LR2 with 2k miles on it for $26xxx. Opinions please and also if you have any other vehicles to add to the list post em up.

I'd take a Ford (and I hate fords) before I'd take an LR. Reliability is a little bit skechy on those things.

What do you need the vehicle for anyhow????

So I dont have to drive either svx in the snow. Actually I want it so I dont have to daily drive either svx in any season. I dont want a sedan and since I am replacing my truck I want something that rides at a similar height, but has four doors.

personally I'd go with a 4 door full size p/u. Any of the american ones will do what you ask of it and they all have quirks of their own so whichever one you pick is totally up to you.

But just to be opinionated.... Dodge FTW!

Dodge FTL..... I might as well buy two dodges. That way I can have one to drive because you know one will always be in the garage getting fixed. If I was going to get a truck I would get a Titan or a GMC 1500.
