    I towed my explorer elite with a vectra estate, no problem towing, but the slippery ramps at launches were sometimes a problem so I changed it for a ford ranger double cab, it'll tow anything anywhere and can pull 3 ton, it's the perfect towing vehicle , of course my boat is in the marina now, but I might just buy a trailer for her. I never got stuck in all that snow last winter either, whilst some posh 4x4's round here couldn't get off their drive

      Discovery 2 4.0 V8. I am on my second one now(upgraded for a newer one with leather interior) both being on LPG and fantastic! Great fishing car and doubles up as a second car for us as we need two seven seaters due to the four brats! I find it so much more comfortable to drive, we end up going everywhere in my fishing car as opposed to the Mrs's newer zafira.

              i get 25/27 mpg if im taking my time but i have a got a bit of a heavy right foot so usually about 22/23 mpg but they recon the new diesel ones are spot on for the consumption

                    I've towed boats up and down the country using my merc vito, anything bigger than 21foot or 2 tons i used to use a toyota land cruiser amazon, or now i use my range rover.

                    The best without doubt was the toyota for towing, using my 6 wheel trailer it could easly pull the max weight of 3500kg.
