Destroyer Congrats! A Range Rover is a CAPABLE. VERSATILE and DESIRABLE all terrain vehicle. And we must never confuse elegance with snobbery. I want one!

See??? BuilderFL is obviously someone who really, truly understands....
it's not about the heated seats, or the heated mirrors, or the dual sun roofs, or the headlight washers, or any of the other elegant appointments, what it's really all about is the rated ability to pull a 7700 lb load up a launch ramp in low range and the built in automatic anti-sway control that flattens the road on a turn. Things like that.. :)




(Oh, and did I mention the built in tea cup holders front and rear and the little tables for the crumpets?)

Very nice truck. I did not realize the Land Rover Discovery had such a high towing capacity. That is more than I thought it would have for a vehicle of its size. When it is time to retire my 98 Suburban I might just go looking for one of those.

You better show up at the Charleston Get Together with the new wheels. We're getting a hay ride trailer so you can tow us around the tourist sites while we eat, drink and ride in style.

Nipper, according to the owners manual the rated towing capacity in high range is 5500 lbs and in low range is 7700 lbs. Low range is not a speed range though... I would think that 20-25 would be tops, but it's a bear in low range... I won't try it for fear of something flying up and hitting me, but I'd be willing to bet it could probably pull out small tree stumps.
