I like the Discovery's too but the rest of these guys here aren't quite so 'sophisticated' as you & i :rolling_laugh: Even the Top Gear guys like them. :wink_thumbup:

Tow vehicle: Chevy 1500
 

My tow vehicle is a 2000 Chevy 1500 LT 5.3L., extended cab, 4x4, w/ 3.73 axle.
It pulls the Z260 fairly well. I estimate the boat/trailer/equip to weigh 8000lbs +. The 4.10 would help. The truck wants to run faster than I like to tow. I towed the boat from Saratoga, NY to Ocean City Maryland w/ no trouble.
I would prefer to tow with a new '08 GMC 2500 Duramax!

what is ford
 

do you know what ford really stands for F = ****ed up O=old R=rebuilt D=dodge or how about F=foud O=on R=rode D=dead, F=****ed O=on R=race D=day, F=fixed O=or R=repaired D=daily,you know guys its been said that on a QUIET night you can even hear a ford rusting. Think about it would you really want one??? :worry_to_laugh: :yes_grin: :punch_out:

I used our Expedition for two seasons. Now I pull with a Toyota CrewMax.

I use both a 96 and 07 Toyota Tacoma to pull my 179SE Talari. Both are V6's and 4wd. The 07 with a 4.0L engine pulls it alot better than my 96 model.

Not any more... Ford no longer own Land Rover. by the way you are all talking about the wrong Land Rover don't tow with a Discovery.... you need a Range Rover!

By the way, I use a Mercedes ML270 CDI Auto 4X4!

:( Hi Dave,

I believe currently, Ford still owns Land Rover and Jaguar. I know India's Tata Motors is trying to purchase Jag and Land Rover but according to this article, the deal may be in trouble……

It's been said that this could be a great blow to the British, one of their ex colonies now owning two of their flagship icons. We can only wait and see… :(

Hi there,

Mine is not on the list, it is a 10 year old Volkswagen Passat Syncro (permanent 4x4) TDI (Diesel). But that is a more downsized car if compared to the US standards. But hey, fuel is to expensive here in Europe anyway. (But I still dream of having a big US Pickup though ;-)

Revised poll to include Gas & Diesel "Other" :yes_grin:

I dunno about that Merc but the Rangey would be my real preference.....if only one could keep it out of the repair shop. ;)
