    Practical ATM behind a Defender

    I have a 2.2 Puma with a BAS 150hp tune & BAS intercooler.

    I appreciate the Defender has a towing capacity of 3500 kg, but what is a practical limit to stay under to make it reasonably comfortable for vehicle & driver. Happy for 5th to be my default gear and 90-95 to be my cruise speed.
    Looking for some type off hybrid off road camper poptop style. Currently wavering between a TVAN or a Kelly Glenrowen type of caravan. So suggestions welcome.
    By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

    Our forward fold camper is under 2000kg fully loaded and tows fine on the highway, including using 6th. I don't like seriuouslyt heavy vans.

    Andy, my old D1 tdi auto towed our Goldstream reasonably well. On highways, 100 kph was ok unless hitting a reasonable incline, then speed washed off pretty quickly. Having a manual will be a benefit in this case.

    Goldie ATM is 1750 kg.

    Towing with the D3 is one giant leap forward, I have to say!

    Take a look at the pioneer Mitchell hybrid better than the tvan .

    We tow a Track Topaz behind our Puma without any dramas.
