2008 new enough? Range rover sport supercharged. Had it a little over a year. Put 20k miles on it bought it with 58k. Awesome truck absolutely zero issues.

But the OT will tell you they suck and are unreliable without any actual evidence. Oh except every neighbor, cousin, friend, had one and "it was always in the shop"

I had an old Range Rover that I put 150k miles on it and did the work on it myself. I loved it, great size and a good reliable vehicle. I would have checked the oil and driven it across the country on a day's notice if needed.

My suggestion about the LR4 is making sure you are close to a dealership with a good service department. The only one in Alabama is Tom Williams and they are absolutely shitty to deal with. The parts department are good people but their service department are absolutely dickheads. Hennessey in Buckhead is supposed to have a good service department (from what I have heard anyway, no direct dealings with them like Tom Williams).

If you don't live close to a dealership, either you need to talk to some local import guys to see if they work on them or you need to be able to work on them yourself. Like any car, they will have gremlins but it is just harder to find people with the computers to service them due to the computers being stupid expensive. A complete computer to work on my 99 RR HSE, it would have cost me around 20k to get the LR Workbook or about 5 to 6k on the knockoff service software.

You mean "evidence" like every released vehicle reliability report over the past decade+?

How about my dad owned one and it was the biggest POS he ever owned.

Literally everything broke on that car. Horrible.
