Thread: Will FL2 TD4/SD4 tow my new (2nd hand) Avan Cruiser comfortably?

G'day Greg.
Out of the new vehicles you list, although it sounds like your set on the Freelander, I'd personally go for the Ranger. It is big, powerful, comfy, safe, offers the practicality of a ute (you could even upgrade to a 5th wheeler if you wish) and tow 3.5 tonne. Again, what you want if you ever wish of get a bigger van!.
I've heard nothing but good things from other vanner's about the way the Ranger handles a big van.
Ps: We have a 23 ft Retreat Daydream and tow with my D2a. It handles it with bravado...but...I would like something a little heavier and more powerful from standard. For me it would be a new Ranger or a 2nd hand D4 SDV6.

Hi Robbo ... I'm having trouble finding time away from everything else going on in life to thank people for responding with lots of interesting information and opinions. Hope you are still lurking there somewhere Funny you should suggest the Ranger ... My longtime mechanic suggested the same... And he owns a beautiful Defender2 and a very stock and straight military Series2! - David knows a thing or two about Land Rovers and cars in general. He's so impressed he is contemplating trading in his beloved Disco on a Ranger.
