Hi All,
I would like some of your views on towing with my freelander td4 04 plate, I have towed my caravan (yes I know, - sorry) for many years behind cars, most recently mondeo tdci and that towed beautifully, on our last trip down to Tenby with the freelander it towed just as good on the level but show it a hill or an incline and it was 50 no matter how you wiggled the gears!, yes I know 50 is the legal maximum for towing on main roads but I would have thought there would have been somthing left under the pedal
the mondeo could even accelerate from 50 ( in spain I will add) the van weighs between 1300 - 1400 kg depending on how much stella and red wine is on board so its not near its max tow.
Any comments are appreciated, but what it excells at is pulling the van off wet fields which front wheel drive cars are just laughable at! which is why we bought it.
Regards.
