- Suspension mentioned, OK
- Climate control goes
- Rear gate glass shatters
- all electrics are prone to sudden death
- Early engine blocks (95-99 especially) are porous, prone to leaking any fluid from within.
Engine blows head gaskets (especially 4.6L), overheats instantly and it's short block replacement only - you can only stretch a 50's alluminum 3.5L block that far. LR knowledge sites recomemnd replacing them every 60-70Kmiles to avoid disaster.
- Axles leak oil and fail, though not too often.
Still excited to own one? :)
