Tough choice TBH, tough.

I've never spent a lot of time in either, but I have to say I know people who have had frontys and towed with them too, they do well.  They are also pretty tough off-road (anyone remeber Barry Scott?) and cheapish in parts being a recycled Cavalier.

Freebie TD4, hmm, good engine, the later IRD so less prone to failure, not sure if it will develop that annoying humm the early ones had (10 minutes and I'd rather walk).  Capable off road, but no low-box (don't know about the Fronty, but that is an Isuzu in drag).

As a tow car, well the Fronty is RWD with T-box, the Freebie is FWD with expensive IRD to bust.

Buy a RRC :D

fronty is OK...bit light for 'serious' towing..freebie well has a bit more low down grunt and little bit more weight....Fronty has lo range but no diff lock - freebie hasnt got either, fronty will be cheaper...and slightly easier to fix............heavier on juice tho'

pretty much 'ya pays ya money and takes ya choice'

The SWB frontera is a little on the light side for towing any thing bigger than a very small caravan, but having low range is a great little play toy

If i was buying just to tow, i hate to say it but i think i might choose the freaklander! unless i could get hold of an early 2.8TD Frontera ;)

Cheers
