I'm one of the OGs around here from way back in 2005/2006 and looking to finally upgrade my Vesuvius First Edition RRSC that I got in 2005. I'm hunting for a 2014, 2015, or 2016 5.0SC sport. I'm wondering the differences between the model years but didn't see a sticky, and google was little help. I know LR started putting in seat coolers at some point, but when was that? I read the 2016 goes to access mode when you put it in park. I'd like to know those types of details... Can anyone help or point me in the right direction? TIA!
A quick couple things that I have noticed and I'll try to add later.
The tailgate is no longer a split tailgate so depending on your thoughts. That sucks. My 2011 had it and my 2017 doesn't and I miss it. That is one of the main reasons that I didn't upgrade my 2011 in 2013.
My 2011 had 2 glove compartments. My 2017 doesn't but I heard they added it back in 2018. The pen holder in the lower glove compartment is so far in it is under whatever your store in there like the owners manual. Kind of defeats the purpose of having a quick place to put your pen. I know it is a small detail just odd is all.
The auto access height can be turned on or off which is good. I park in off road height. And off road height has a higher threshold so the truck will not automatically lower until above 40mph.
I think auto high beams were added on some trims in 2016. Could have been earlier I forget.
Daytime headlights are standard (USA) but I read you can have them disabled if there is no law requiring them. I haven't asked the dealer about it yet because I do not want them to do it if it means loosing auto on lights and auto high beams.
The center screen got bigger a couple years in to the new body style.
