Equitrek show treka - What do you tow with?

[TracyGracie]

Hi
I'm just in the process of purchasing a new car and trailer. I really like the Equitrek show treka but I'm aware they are heavier than the usual trailers so know I'll need a meatier 4x4.
The Audi Q7 will do the job but does anyone have any other recommendations?
Thanks X

My friend tows with her very meaty Toyota Landcruiser. Beast of a car and makes nothing of the equitrek

Thanks. Any idea what they're like on fuel?

I tow mine with a 16 year old Land Rover Discovery TD5. It's fantastic and I don't even know it's there most of the time. I almost cried when I was told it wouldn't get through another MOT due to chassis corrosion. Thankfully she's back on the road now thanks to the skills of my OH!

New Isuzu D-Max. Don't even know its there.
Good fuel economy too.

Defender 90. Great combo. Perhaps not best for fuel efficiency though!

Discovery 3.
Does about 32mpg around. Town and about 26mpg when towing.
I dislike towing, but it is the best tow vehicle I have ever had.
The Equitrek also tows superbly.
I have recently downsized to an ifor 510, due to also buying a Lorry, and it tows nowhere near as well as the Equitrek did.

I have towed mine easily with Pathfinder (3t limit) but don't buy one
I now use a ford Ranger
