Yes, the comparative test was 0 - 100 kph, you'll find it in Search under Road Test 0-100. It was designed to give a guide to what could be expected from the different 2.5 and 2.8 models.

If it were mph I'd still be waiting for a stronger tail wind, much stronger. Laughing

I was just joking at the 3.2s wondering what they were like

Great tow vehicle, but not without their issues, fuel pump & tank, rear suspension bushes, being two major ones, also rot to the inner sills and rear arches. Mine was cheap and even after the repairs I have done still doesn't owe me much for what it is. However if I had paid £6000 or more for a cleaner example I would not be too pleased at all.

In the affordable tow car range Landrover ALWAYS come tops for towing vehicles usually diesels as quoted by the authorities who know and test vehicles, What Car, Autocar etc. The whole discussion is pointless unless it's specific to comparable vehicles and towed weights and wind areas. IMO I'd far rather tow at speed with my D2 TD5 than any Pajero I've ever driven not to say they are rubbish but they don't hold a candle on towing HEAVY loads fast.

took it for a tow at the weekend

if you drive it properly.. not like the guy who did for me when i didn't have my trailer license it drives really well and pulls up hills well.. goes to about 45-50 on steep hils and i just let it plod rather than flooring it.. drove really well

defo sets off better with teh trailer now i have done the boost mod.

Best towing vehicle I have driven is the Daihatsu Fourtrak followed by the 3.2 Shogun, and yes I have towed with all manner of vehicles and I don't rate the D2 that highly towing heavy loads.

To a large extent it depends on how you load your trailer and the types of road you drive on, but why would you want or need to tow a heavy load at speed particularly with the amount of idiots there are on the roads today? if you are caravanning its holiday time so why put all this extra stress on yourself, I say stick with the lorries at 56MPH and have a more relaxing journey among more professional drivers who take account of your vehicle, load, and stopping distances.
