This modified 2005 Land Rover LR3 SE 4×4 is an off-road-prepped example powered by the desirable 4.4-liter V8 paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission and full-time four-wheel drive. Offered by a private seller in Buffalo, New York with a clean title, this LR3 shows approximately 157k miles and benefits from extensive documented service history along with several trail-oriented upgrades including a suspension lift, winch, and snorkel. Seller states the truck was acquired from a well-known Land Rover aftermarket supplier and intended for beach and trail use before serving as a winter vehicle in Western New York.
- Desirable 4.4L V8: Powered by the 4.4-liter DOHC V8 producing approximately 300 horsepower and 315 lb.-ft. of torque, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission and dual-range transfer case. Widely considered the preferred engine option for the LR3 platform due to its smoother power delivery and long-term durability compared to the base V6.
- “Golden Era” Land Rover Platform: The LR3 marked a major shift for Land Rover when introduced for the 2005 model year, combining traditional off-road capability with fully independent air suspension, Terrain Response, locking center differential capability, and advanced traction management systems. Enthusiasts often consider the LR3 and LR4 among Land Rover’s most capable factory off-road platforms thanks to their articulation, visibility, and aftermarket support.
- Extensive Service History: CARFAX documents 80 service records across three owners with no reported accidents or structural damage. Long-term ownership history includes over 17 years with the second owner, suggesting stable stewardship.
- Dealer & Specialist Maintenance: Service history includes regular maintenance at Land Rover Annapolis, Land Rover Wilmington, Jaguar Land Rover San Francisco, and several independent Land Rover specialists. CARFAX records show major maintenance items including coolant service, brake service, serpentine belt replacement, spark plugs, alternator replacement, throttle body service, air suspension inspection, and multiple steering/suspension inspections.
- Recent Maintenance: The current owner reportedly replaced ignition coils and tires. CARFAX additionally documents an alternator replacement in November 2025 and coolant flush plus A/C refrigerant recharge in January 2026.
