The Discovery 4 is a second rate tow vehicle

[mowog]

Well according to some experts on a caravan forum the D3/D4 are death traps that should not be allowed to tow. According to these experts the only safe tow vehicle is from Japan? Apparently anything euro is just not up to the task.

I have never read so much rubbish in one place.

Caravaners Forum • View topic - Are WDH necessary when Airbags are fitted to the 4x4

[jonesy63]

I didn't read the linked thread that way at all.

They had a Prado converted to air bags - manually controlled. For that - no computer control of suspension at all - just a manual inflate/deflate option. No self levelling, no pitch/yaw sensors, etc. In that case - yes, a WDH will probably be needed.

I wonder... if it was fitted with HID/Xenon headlights - the suspension conversion would probably render it illegal.

Had a quick read. Did notice that some posts were from Noddie.
Isn't he the cartoon character in the red & yellow car? Say no more.

No offence Mowog but who really cares what the nong nongs on that site think?

Leave them to pat each other on the back about how smart they were to buy their favoured Crusiers and Patrols. In case you had not noticed a decent percentage of people on that site sound like senile old fools.

There is an old saying that 'ignorance is bliss' which springs to mind.

cheers,

Caravan's should be barred.

Towing with a F250 is good . Caravans are for a certain mind-set.
Each to their own .
The best place to get info on use , is an owner's/user's forum.
I wouldn't ask a Townie if they reckoned the FEL on a JD2000 twenty
series was too lightweight , just as I wouldn't take any real interest in
a general magazine article .

Next winter I'll start taking photo's and each week we'll vote on the most overloaded,poorly set-up,most dangerous bikky dipper rig we see.Last winter we overtook a 60 series doing 55 in a 110 zone with both a washer and drier tied to the roof. Pat
