Avg light trailer is 750Kg. Basic 90 is what, 1700Kg without to many toys. Most of these have a towing weight of ~2000K don't they.

3,500kg actually. :wink:

Yeah,the 90 has a towing limit of 3500kg but I wouldnt like to try it!!! maybe in a 110!!!
EvilEd:
I was talking about the 90 on the trailer :)
If you tow more than the designed limit, you have no insurance and are a hazzard on the road (Like caravan drivers and tractors :evil: :lol: :lol:)
Freelander is 1800Kg towing weight. less 750 (for a good ally trailer, nearer 1000Kg for a "Solid" ones) and you may be able to tow a motorcycle on it :)

I had a caravan and I wasnt a hazard,I have a full HGV class one licence and I can drive anything on the road professionally as well!!! and I dont know whether you know,but there is a speed limit of 60mph for a car and caravan,just like all HGVs are limited to 56mph.But as far as the freelander is concerned you are just about right
Range Rover Blues:
Our Brian James is 500KG empty and will carry 2,200Kg. Even so you won't find many cars that weigh less than 1,000kg and a family car will be around 1,200kg, perhaps more.
I think given an open choice it would be a 110 TDi, the extra wheelbase makes a difference with stability and the weight is certainly there, as is the grunt, but Joe was asking "given the choice between X & Y, which would you choose?", if I understand him correctly.
My personal choice for towing BIG things is my LSE, it has the same weight capacity as a 110, the same wheelbase but it has more weight on the back end when empty which is important.
It's also got a hoofin' big V8 on LPG, uprated suspension with a monster rear ARB, that and the 108" wheelbase make it very stable, plus it has cruise.
