Landrover Range Rover 3.6 TDV8 and Sprite

Paul Best reviewed on 14 September 2021 a Landrover Range Rover 3.6 TDV8 (272 PS/200 Kw, Year: 2006 - 2010) with a Sprite Alpine 4 of n.a. kg.

"I have a 2016 Swift Alpine 4.
Towing with my Range Rover is effortless and a dream fuel economy was running at around 25mpg.
Pulling on just about any hill was no effort at all and I found no snaking while towing at the legal limit/speed, I use cruise control where possible to ensure I stay legal and to prevent speed creep as generally my Vogue doesn't know the van is there with all the power on tap.

Landrover Range Rover 3.6 TDV8 and Lunar

Peter Rodgers reviewed on 18 February 2018 a Landrover Range Rover 3.6 TDV8 (272 PS/200 Kw, Year: 2006 - 2010) with a Lunar Delta TI of 1680 kg.

I have a Luna Delta TI 2012 twin axle and aol control.
Towing with my Range Rover is effortless although fuel economy was running at around 19mpg.
Pulling on just about any hill was no effort at all and I found no snaking while towing at speed, if anything you must keep an eye on your speed as it can creep up very easily!

Landrover Range Rover 3.6 TDV8 and Compass

Craig reviewed on 20 November 2017 a Landrover Range Rover 3.6 TDV8 (272 PS/200 Kw, Year: 2006 - 2010) with a Compass Omega 544 of 1560 kg.

Used to tow with a 3.0tdi Audi A8 and I thought that was excellent but the Range Rover is in another league. You really don’t feel the caravan on the car at all. The car bearly has to work to shift the van even up hills. It very rarely changes down to even go up hills. With the van on the Range Rover recognises that it’s towing and holds on to gears for a little longer. The best thing is that when you are going down hill if you initially brake the car to a speed you feel comfortable with for going down the hill then take your foot of the accelerator the Range Rover will downshift and use engine braking to hold the van and car at that speed without the need to constantly brake.. All in all a v8 diesel Range Rover is going to tow anything. You can’t go wrong. Fuel economy is (for me anyway) 30mpg without the caravan on motorways and about 27mpg with the van on. I did pay to de carbon the engine which improved my mpg from 25mpg without van and almost 20mpg with the van. Well worth spending £300 to get this done.

Best tow car you can buy. No issues with weight, power, stability or more importantly stress.
Pulls my Cameo 625 with ease with no noticeable change in fuel consumption

Landrover Range Rover 4.4 SDV8 and Coachman

Marc reviewed on 12 July 2016 a Landrover Range Rover 4.4 SDV8 (340 PS/250 Kw, Year: 2013 - 2017) with a Coachman Pastiche 575 of 1510 kg.

As you would expect the Range rover handles towing a coachman 575 beautifully. From power point of view you dont know your even towing and the caravan tows superb. Highly recommend a range rover for caravaning

Landrover Range Rover 3.0 Td6 and Bailey

Ian MacDonald reviewed on 01 June 2014 a Landrover Range Rover 3.0 Td6 (177 PS/130 Kw, Year: 2002 - 2006) with a Bailey Senator Wyoming of 1635 kg.

Hi, I tow my Bailey Senator Wyoming with a Range Rover L 322. I can honestly say the RR is simply head and shoulders over the other tow cars I have used. Whilst fuel economy is not bad, we are safe in knowledge that the outfit is very very stable. Mind you need to keep checking your mirrors has you don't feel it behind you.

Jamsie423 reviewed on 15 March 2012 a Landrover Range Rover 3.0 Td6 (177 PS/130 Kw, Year: 2002 - 2006) with a Hobby Premium 650 UFf of 1800 kg.

Effortless, nothing else I can say but a joy to drive and tow with. After recently owning a Discovery3 2.7TDV6 I can honestly say the stability seemed better than the Discovery. Disco is still a fantastic car but the Range Rover/Premium combination is fantastic.

Closet Caravanner reviewed on 21 April 2010 a Landrover Range Rover 3.0 Td6 (177 PS/130 Kw, Year: 2002 - 2006) with a Bailey Pageant Bretagne of 1458 kg.

Fabulous combination, other than higher revs than usual I can barely feel I have a fully laden caravan on the back of the mighty Range Rover. A superb car in all respects and the self levelling air suspension and towing mode make the car an excellent snail dragger.

Landrover Range Rover V8 and Wilk

DAVID HEATH reviewed on 20 December 2009 a Landrover Range Rover V8 (132 PS/97 Kw, Year: 1976 - 1980) with a Wilk S4-700 of 1735 kg.

I tow a 29ft wilk caravan with a 1992 3.9 RRC. it is a excellent tug, i have pulled on and off boggy sites and up steep welsh mountains lanes. it is more than happy at top side of 60mph as it is just crusing. ive often thought about trading it in for a newer 4x4 but what can match that mighty V8. Yes it is a thristy set up but its a price to pay for a superb tool that wont fail you. I will also just say that iam a truck driver and work with machines that pull all day long, so iam quite i good judge in that department.

Landrover Range Rover V8 and Elddis

Andrew reviewed on 07 March 2008 a Landrover Range Rover V8 (132 PS/97 Kw, Year: 1976 - 1980) with a Elddis Crusader Cyclone of 1839 kg.

Unfortuantely my Range Rover Classic model is not included in this website, I have a 1994 RRC 4.2 LSE. It is a totally awsome towcar, if you can afford to put fuel in it. It costs less to insure than my Nissan Micra, even without no-claims benifit and is pretty cheap to service.

My current caravan is an Eldiss twin axle, MIRO about 1600kg, MTPLM 1900kg, the RR is about 2100Kg kerb and 2600MAM. Unlike a lot of soft-roaders the RRC is built to tow, maximum noseweight is a whopping 150kg and it tows best if you make use of it, I load up to the maximum 100kg allowed by the caravan coupling which is a Winterhoff stabiliser.

Being a LWB RRC, the LSE is a very stable towcar and the air suspension keeps it well under control. The massive V8 also gives fantastic engine braking, even with the auto box. Being a proper off-roader is has a lock-up clutch in the gearbox for 1st gear descents, on Blue Bank near Whitby, a long 1 in 10 the RR can hold back the caravan with little or no use of the brakes, without resorting to the low ratio of the transfer box.

The most I have towed is 3000kg, obviously when your trailer weighs more than your car you need to be careful, the one danger with the RRC is that it's so stable you can get a false sense of security, the engine has plenty of power in reserve even towing near it's limit of 3500kg but for long journeys it is worth considering extra cooling, I have fitted an extra gearbox oil cooler, a new radiator and viscous fan.

As with any older car it is worth joining an owner's club for advice on running, insuring and repairing such a car.
