Hi,
Toying with the idea of swapping my Santa Fe for a nearly new RR or Discovery. I’m well aware that many folk (on this forum and elsewhere) will say ‘once a RR/Disco, always a RR/Disco’, but I’d still be interested in hearing what you have to say. I’ll be towing a new Adria Adora Isonzo MTPLM 1800kg, and one of the factors in buying this van is to potentially consider making use of the longer A-frame to carry cycles on it. Clearly, therefore, noseweight and tow car ball capacity is a factor.
So opinions on RR v Discovery please, as a whole, but specifically on towing.
Also, below is an extract from the LR website for the 3.0 Discovery diesel auto, yet elsewhere on the website it quotes 150.
Maximum coupling point/nose weight (kg) 350
As that seems an unbelievably high rating, what do owners and other knowledgable folk understand from this?
thanks
