The OPs Freelander is an automatic. This helps reduce the need for a low range. This is one of the reasons that I own an auto
I have the same style of tow bar on mine. I am currently trying to find a shackle that fits the outer bolt hole on the bar. This would put a central tow point which is useful.For example - re towbar - Here is mine - I can remove the whole main hitch assembly quite easily (oops damn - cant post a pic easily) it is a tow trust and the whole rear hitch link is removable via two bolts.

- I wish I could have add an auto on my L series. !. even then , larger tyres make thing worse - even with an auto.....Low range can be beneficial but the auto does get the Freelander halfway there. I've never found it necessary on a Freelander. I'm using 225/60/17 tyres and it doesn't notice the larger rolling radius of those. Obviously going to more extreme sizes could cause issues.Agreed Nodge !

I've been looking at Disco's recently for off roading but having test driven one I didn't like it so I was thinking of going down the same route and adding bigger tyres and a lift kit. The last time I had the car out it was miles too low so adding 50mm to the ride height would not have been enough. If bigger tyres are a major no no then I would need to add more height and that will cause major issues.
