Yeh...a word comes to mind beginning with c ends in p. See my point, the tow capacity is less than the vehicle weighs....My 7k vehicle has a 10K cap I was going to say appears something with a frame/chassis tows more but in the US anything from Land Rover is considered poor choice for towing. Back in the 90's had an old crew cab Chevy pick up [85] 454 ci [7.4l] gooseneck fit. Had a 38ft flatbed n fit 2 swb 1 lwb rovers on. Trundled on with ease. But with a 4.10 back end twas 9 mpg. Fuel prices shot up n sold it to a guy who ripped the engine [for racing dragstrip] and installed a 5.7l. I had 400k miles on tat thing without a rebuild.... Have to say in the year have owned the gv Ive loved it. Have spent maybe 2500 [and thats me getting the parts] My opinion is that when something goes change everything around it. Changed the therm, changed everything on the way to it. Changed the shocks..changed hubs etc on the way to them. Changed the alternator...and everything around it.....Yes I know..parts prices. Tip...RockAuto in US is known for cheap prices..and extortionate shipping...Ive never ever used em. Any local autoparts will take your money and ship to UK... I bought a part from Chrysler dealer..8 dollars, they shipped for 4 quid..Cheapest in UK...45 quid used on ebay.
