Towing with a Range Rover

[Sprig]

Does anyone tow with a Range Rover?
We are looking to replace our old Disco with a Range Rover, probably 2005/2006 age. Do they tow well? Will probably be an Equi-trek we will want to tow.
Also anything specific to look out for when buying one of these? and are any models known to be the best/worst?
Thanks

I have owned and towed with many range rovers and currently tow a equitrek carriage treka with a 4.2 supercharged automatic it tows it beauifully .
I Love range rovers always have one and a defender.
I never buy mine apart from going I want the red with the cream leather so can't help you with that bit .

I have the discovery 4 and it is just as luxurious as the range rovers but cheaper!! It tows my hb511 amazingly you don't even know its behind it!!!
Not very good on fuel and expensive road tax but hay ho!!!!

I don't really fancy a Disco, not sure why. I hear the 4s are good though. Also would be over budget for us as we are looking to spend up to 20k.

Yeah we tow with a range rover and have done for a few years now. And I have to say it tows fantastic. Its a lovely comfortable car and I have to say my OH and I always end up fighting for the keys when we go away in it. haha. I have the older p38 range rover but they are all brill.

There are a couple things my OH wanted to check etc before we bought it. So will ask him when he gets home and let you know what he says. haha.

I would go for a vogue over a sport if having a range rover
Purely for the size the sport feels more car like/smaller inside.

Definitely looking for a proper Range Rover, not the Sport. I do plenty of 'proper' driving, not just towing, so want to be nice and comfy. Does anyone have the V8? I am thinking this may be better for my motorway miles.

Our P38 rangie tows like a dream - and it's 15 yrs old now so we've had plenty of use out of it. But as a V8 it is heavy on the ole petrol.
