which truck & trailer?

The 3.1 troopers were superb but now much too old. The common rail 3.0 troopers were a disaster thats why they are cheap to buy. The Rodeo has a totally different engine and is very good. If someone gave me a 3.0 trooper I would put it straight on ebay especially if it still actually runs.

Great, square 1 again. ok what is the best 4x4 van/ 3 door car for towing with good reliability, for under £4k?

[Mozza]

Discovery 😎

[Big 'Ammer]

Defender.

[normandylumberjack]

would not look at another Landrover, had a lot of them and always fixing them. if i had £10k then maybe i would consider a defender, to much electrical to go wrong on discos.

Toyota colorado or 300 tdi discovery if you need to pull more than 2.6 tonnes

Bought an 07 Ranger a couple of months ago. Touch wood it's all good, it had just had a new clutch (dual mass fly wheel?) at 60k. It tows my 15 year old plus?! TT85 which I bought off Ebay. Haven't towed with trailer weight loaded to limit yet, but seems sound enough. Selecting Low range makes shunting trailer up hill a little easier, which maybe in a Landy you wouldn't need to do?!

Subaru Forester pulls 1950kgs easily and well. Go forever. Petrol, but average 31 mpg. Great all-round car when not towing. Comfy. Cheap to insure. Excellent off road when well-shod and plated underneath. Steer clear of turbos and imports.

The fourtrak is cheap and reliable and can tow 3 tonne I believe.
