its all good, a rrc will tow better than anything outside the landrover brand, and pretty much identical to the rest of the brand

i much prefered the manual discovery over the rrc auto for towing, better power delivery.

This was for towing a 1500KG caravan

v8's autos may have power but crap for towing

yes i agree but they are nice off road wiv skanky trailer weighin 4 ton
I just found the V8 manual ate clutch when pullin outt fields and specially reversing the trailer when ya cant push it in.
I reckon tdi manual will sort my needs for slow speed power.
