What class is that leading if only able to tow up to 3000kg?

Thats what I thought??
Gordo:
I'm guessing that, until recently, Land Rover and Ford dealers went to the same school of incompetence.
It's only taken my dealer four weeks to replace a windscreen, and they "forgot" to do the MOT it was in for too.
"How can you tell a salesman's exagerating?"
"His lips are moving".
:roll:
muddyjames:
well the dippy bloke today said to me that he thinks my ranger has had a hard life probably towing 2500kg trailers. I said yeah, it's max towing weight is 3000kg so no reason there to destroy gearbox! He then said he towed a 1600kg caravan behind a fiesta zetec once. It's all about how you use the gears. I so had to laugh when I got out the show room. There was a very strong smell or oh-de-bull-.....
yeah it jumps out of 5th gear. a recall thing that never got done.
william127:
prehaps he meant class leading when compared to the 2wd version as that can only tow 1600kg :D altough come to think of it an l200 can only tow 2700. it wont really matter as my dad can always borrow my mans truck for towing ;)
incidentaley ford subed out fitting our towbar which was about £240(is that reasnobale?) so maybe our dealer knows they dont know what theryre doing?
