Whilst on Holidays (May 2007) we were able to compare the towing characteristics against the Mitsubishi Pajero we had, the good news is that it tows the van even better,(airbag suspension & 6 speed g/box seems to make the difference) with only a slight inrease in fuel consumption. Fuel consumption is marginally higher at 19.4L per 100km when towing @ 95km average than the Mitsubishi Pajero. Also the traditionel Hayman Reese weight distribution hitch is not needed and that alone is a major plus. One major problem has cropped up which required a modification to be fitted. The Land Rover experienced problems with caravans/trailers which have LED's as turn signal indicators. The LED's will flash repeatedly when they are not otherwise illuminated and does not recognise that a trailer is connected. A Pulse Shunt by Lab Electronics has fixed the problem, albeit at a cost of $545.50. A rather big ouch!

The Land Rover performed much much better than expected. Also the traditional HR weight distribution hitch is not needed and that alone is a major plus. And the Supreme Quest Van was simply superb, hail rain or shine. Driving thru huge storms and rain one had to see to believe, not one single leak was encountered. May ~ June 2007
