best 4x4 for towing trailer and horses

<< < (4/5) > >>

laser_jock99:
The Landcruiser 4.2TD comes highly recomened by a chap I know who uses one in his 'boat moving' business.

freeagent:
Landcruiser 4.2TD auto is the king of towing vehicles..

but any Defender/Disco/Patrol would do the job...

Smego:
Landcruiser or Nissan patrol over LR's any day, both (UK spec) will have rear diff locks as standard, helpful for pulling weight of muddy fields, better than traction control anyday!!

Range Rover Blues:
Horseboxes tend to be the most stable of trailer anyway, wide at the bottom and the axles near the back.  That also makes them easier to manouvre.

Hmmm, I doubt that TBH I really do.  Trouble is most LR belonging to members are modified for off-road performance and articulation, which you can hardly argue is better with IFS, but a stock LR (particularly with EAS) makes a very stable towcar with far better handling near the limit because it doesn't suffer dynamic camber changes.

The big downside to a beam axle is of course the unsprung weight.


Anyhoo, back tot he original question, there is plenty of choice for a decent towcar, so decide ow much you want to spend and go take a look at some.
