Interesting comment, Pedro! I have a V8 auto and the Disco seems so much happier towing my 1200 kg Jayco at 130 km/hr then it does at 100 km/hr. It just seems to drive really well at the higher speed.

And no, I'm not normally a hoon. ;)

its makes enough Nm and HP to tow at those revs,,,

Thats why I want a 5 speed(auto)

with 4th around .95
