Land rovers rock thread

[Landrover130!]

Love my defender 130, not much room in the cab but who cares!? Only wish tne boss would have a winch too but she said no:0(

Yes a 130 and big trailer is a formidable combo on the road though, i tow a 16ft ifor behind mine having done my trailer test a few weeks ago and even dispite having done a lot of ag work towing etc its a different game completely in the landy.

 

God all that trying get my head around getting a lorry licence to drive a landy and I was just reading the weights wrong! I thought 3050kg was the empty weight. Thinking about it thats ridiculously heavy oh well good news all round Landys not tow so well then or is it just because of the weight in the back and the size of the trailer?

My landy tows like a dream...in fact i'd say it feels more solid and stable with something dragging along behind it!! (which doesn't say much!)

Landrovers are the best, most capable and smoothest towing 4x4s out there pretty much.(the landcruisers are phenomenal). They may not be the fastest tow motor, but they are very stable and capable...at least the 110 and 130 are . Cant comment on the 90s- i wouldnt ever have one as for me they are too small to be any use.

I can see where your coming from Tommer...the 90 is quite dinky! Its ideal for zipping round doing quotes, but great for when it has to work (towing).

Next year im hoping to get a new 130 chassis tipper and get a nice ally chip box put on the back. Haven't mentioned this to my other half yet but i'm sure she will be ok with it!! :lol:

[Matthew Arnold]

You got it matt!!.... got it for towing stumper round, logs/trailer, towing splitter and doing quotes for work. And a toy for the weekend!!

Rob....that made me chuckle!! came in handy getting the chipper alongside that woodland edge job - although it looked like good firm ground, it was very wet and soft and the transit got scared on the wet grass!!

 

What are you doing on 30th October?
