The TD4 Freelander has a towing capacity of 2000Kgs. Not sure where Parkers book of lies get there data from :roll:
We tow a horse box or a flatbed with it, no problems. Tows very well. Horse box, plus two dog meats, sorry horses :lol: come in at around 1500 kgs.
Took some scrap cast iron on the flatbed trailer with the 110 last year and the whole rig weighed in at just under 5 tonnes :shock: It wasn't a pleasant trip :lol:
A friend has a SWB Frontera and tows regularly. He does find it a bit thirsty when towing though. He now has gas fitted.

Horse box of me mums with 2 big ish horses comes in an about 3t i think, most horses weigh a ton is IIRC
Range Rover Blues:
A shire horse is about a tonne, maybe a tad over, but a decent horsebox will be rated at around 3 tonnes I guess.

When i bought my 110 a year or two back we went to fetch it on the ifor towing it with me mates disco. now this discos gearbox had been on its way out for a while and it had lost 2nd and 4th (unusual because 4th is direct drive which is normally the last to fail) so we picked it up from tadcaster and towed it back with only 1st 3rd and 5th. the motorway slip road was a nightmare. luckily the pump and turbo is wound right up but still a horrific experience!
Was a credit to the disco though, the transfer box probably needed replacing as well from all the high/low transitions we did!
Range Rover Blues:
I'd have towed the Disco back with the 110 then :?
Tommo:
yeah true but no tax test or insurance.
