Opportunity arises to acquire a Discovery 3 TDV6 to replace my delightful, devoted, reliable, capable, comfortable, gorgeous, darling Grand Cherokee 3.0CRD.
I must be nuts.
The Jeep (WK model) is as close to ideal as we'll ever get and I really don't want to change. But we're shorty to relocate overseas and the Jeep's helm is on the wrong side. The proposed Disco is LHD and is already registered in France so avoiding the French first-registration fee - which is roughly equal to one-and-a-half kings' ransoms for higher CO2 SUVs.
To hopefully save the risk of a wasted logistics exercise just to test the hitch clearance, has anyone experienced clearance trouble when trying to open the Disco's tail-door with an AlKo AKS3004 (Winterhoff) stabiliser hitch attached to the AlKo extended tow ball?
We tow a fairly heavy tandem axle 'van so to run with the tow hitch lower than standard would be out of the question.
Many thanks,
Jeremy.
