going to perth on friday with caravan first outing this year and first with freelander so will see how it performs!!!!![last tow car was a ford kuga]

I'm sure CG will have some handy hints regarding the 'van!  ...

Be true to yourself. That way happiness lies...

You should find towing a bit more of a pleasure with a Freelander 2. Just go easy on the clutch especially if reversing, it's a tad high geared, a mover may be better for you if you haven't one already, especially if it's an uphill reverse.

If you look ad, you will see there's a mover on that van already  10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)

Wow look at the difference in vehicle dimensions against the caravan. Enjoy your weekend GraemeS

I have to agree with you,we took our van out for the first time last weekend since buying the car in December I was a bit nervous but everything was fine.I towed with a D2 before but the freelander 2 is much nicer tow car.

quick question on the manual vs auto.

weve not towed with the FL2 yet after two years, despite paying LR £700 for a genuine removable bar

which is best for towing / manouvering - the auto or manual. weve got a manual at the moment, but thinking of changing for a newer FL2 and maybe an auto. it will only be used to tow a small 1100Kgs van and maybe in an emergency the Twin Axle Delta

i can't say anything pro or anti for the auto because i have not used one to tow with but i like the manual box,did the towing very well with my van on the back. didn't tow far 40 miles there and back going a bit further next time so will let you know.

cheers
