Thanks for the info.

Hi Guys,

I'm doing the "build your own" options across the 110 S P300, 110 SE D300 & 110 S P400.

I'm only adding LED's, Tow bar, roof rails (included in SE), Meridian Stereo (including in SE) & leather seats (P400 is leather but semi-auto 12 way) plus some wooden trim.

Pricing is approx:

$108K for the 110 S P300
https://build.landrover/2AE4449A

$113K for the 110 S P400
https://build.landrover/2A2E01DA

$115K for the 110 SE D300
https://build.landrover/2A5D8294

I don't drive off road all that much but when I do I like to enjoy myself.
I really only tow a rental Jayco Expanda once a year up to the Flinders.

Would the P300 be enough?

Cheers all
Matt

Just looking at my build again

The Towing Pack at $4044 this only add extra electronic trickery? Its not vital for towing is it.
I dropped it from my build and just added the tow hitch receiver.

I can back a caravan and a trailer so I don't need the car to do that for me. Am I missing something by dropping the Tow Pack and only going for the Tow Hitch?

$400 for some software to help. From my investigation the answer is no. I added just towbar and TR2

Just got a quote on a SE D300

Nothing exceptional in the quote
No sunroof
Seven seats
Pretty standard except for headlining & off road pack.
$140 k
$7990 dealer delivery - !!!!!

I would highly recommend Toby Balfor from Shepparton Land Rover. He will ship interstate. I found him great to deal with.

If you can reverse a trailer you don't need this 4k option. I had put it into my build, we took it out at time of ordering and I put the money towards TR2 and the matrix headlights. Tow hitch is standard issue AFAIK, JLR should not charge you for that, unless you mean the tongue and tow ball ?

I have had to cancel my order at this time. My company had a merger and they decided to make most of the Development and QA team redundant on our side of the merger. So I am going back to contracting at this stage. The dealer tells me they will keep the order in the system.
