Towing - Diesel or Petrol ?

Algie · Apr 29, 2007

Hi All

My first post !!

I am moving from a horse box to a trailer for my daughter's horse [and probably a friends as well !] and am thinking of a Range Rover [1st choice] or a Discovery - I have a budget up to about £10,000.

The general views always seem to be that diesel is best for towing but I would also like to consider a petrol with a [good] LPG conversion.

Anyone towed with a RR 4.6 with LPG ? How were the hills ?

How does a RR 2.5 diesel rate as a vehicle when not towing ?

Would be grateful for any advice or opinions

Thanks all

thanks - I found that after I posted this and put it there

I have now decided on a discovery instead - at least I'll know the right place to go for my questions !!
