[ROVERNET - UK] Need to know about Land Rovers for pulling?

[Kent Kinard]

Hi David,
The trailer must have trailer brakes.  I learned this the 
hard way a few years ago.  Got passed by my own trailer, 
jackknifed, rolled three times, destroyed two Range Rovers 
at once, got a helicopter ride that I still don't 
remember.

....also...My feeling about 4.0 engines is that I would 
only own one if it was given to me.  The 4.6 is a better 
engine.

With proper consideration for safety, they pull just fine, 
but short wheelbase means they are twitchy.  A 110 is a 
better tow vehicle but who can afford one in the US?
