Hello group,
We are evaluating a Range Rover 4.0 , 4.2 or 4.6 as a vehicle to pull a trailer with racecar (total weight of trailer, racecar and stuff about 2000 kg). I suppose a Range would make a safe, comfortable and relatively swift way to get the trailer to and from the track.
The Range will be younger than 6 years. Any thoughts on where I should pay attention to? Were there no 4.6 Range Rovers with manual gear change? Up till now I only found a manual gearbox in a 4.0 (1999) Range.
The most nibbling question: what about fiability? I know the horror stories from older models, have the news ones their issues? Need I to do something to improve trailer towing? No LPG please: been there, had it and it was a bloody nightmare on a company car.
Other vehicules (no vans, must be petrolpowered) I should look at? I thought about Mercedes Gelande-Wagen but those are rare here. It seems that Brussels is infested with Range Rovers ;)
Thx in advance,
Tom De Moor
