Thread: The Discovery 4 is a second rate tow vehicle

Where ever Rivers pokes his head there is sure to be a bunch of

Ws

I cannot believe I lost an hour of my life I will not get back reading the caravan towing forum.
Seems we all have to trade down to a 20+ year old vehicle to get a "real 4X4".
Tanks, Helicopters, Desert Rat's in South Africa, if you don't have leaf springs your an idiot, mines bigger than your's, unbelievable.
More people need interesting hobbies or to see a specialist, in saying that, I'm outa here, no not for the specialist !.

It seems over here in the New World, that the experts do not think the domestic Chev 3500's, Dodge 3500's, or the Ford F350's with their Isuzu, Fiat, or Cat derived 7 litre diesels can cut it either - particularly when passing uphill over 120 kph towing the local version of a road train.

Ok I am sorry to those who lost an hour of their life reading the rubbish on the linked thread. But there are a few people here who tow large vans and I thought they needed to know about the dangerous tow vehicle they are using.

Thread title should read:

caravanersforum.com is a second rate forum.

Is this a good start?

I particularly like the split system on the back.

Crap..and I just bought a Land Rover, because, after lots of research, and driving EVERY possible alternative, I decided it was the best possible mix of tow, offroad, and just nice to drive, of any of the alternatives. And I will admit to being very 'anti' British cars..I wanted another German.

But, I think I'll just enjoy driving my vehicle, and leave them happy in theirs.

I might add though, that I was sent a sticker by a member here, that proclaimed everything else (i.e. not LR) was crap. Put that on this evening.
