I tow a 1100kg Swift challenger with mine, it's not short of power but the gear ratios aren't ideally suited to towing. A road driving is not bad at all, very good acceleration through the gears, 4th gear all the way dropping to 3rd for some steeper climbs. Around wales/scotland/yorkshire you...

Hi Mark, as damian has said it could be a loading problem. Although there is another point to consider as you say you are towing with a Discovery, when the van is hitched up does it sit level, nose up, or nose down? If it is nose up this will cause instabilty at speed and you will need to fit a...
