The D4 is some machine for towing....well it’s just some machine full stop
Only problem is a sub 3,5tonne tow (3000kg I believe)As others have said OP choice are two different vehicles, as an average of the two how about a Toyota Land Cruiser commercial? a glowing review of the base three door passenger car here: https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-revie...ota-land-cruiser-utility-3dr-long-term-review
How much is a D4’s road tax?
To my knowledge it isn’tOn another note, if you buy a discovery commercial and have the back seats added, is it still classed as commercial?
Was about £500 last one we had.How much is a D4’s road tax?
So is a D4 commercial less tax than a standard one then?D4 commercial is 285 ish for road tax
To my knowledge it isn’t

Are you sure about that? I thought it was something to do with payloads and that’s why the seats weren’t allowedThe peculairty here is that with rear seats fitted you can keep the commercial status & road tax figure - but the rear windows must not be openable - D4 commercials have the motors and regulators in place but the factory has removed the motor controller and filled the slot with gloop- as well as using a squirt of silicone sealer in the window channels.
If they are “occasional use” such as those done by Scots seats etc then , yes it is still a commercial. I think they need to be able to completely fold forward . Had then in 3 disco 4’s and three shogun commercials . All taxed and insured as a commercial . No problems. Wouldn’t want to spend more than an hour on the seats though!To my knowledge it isn’t
Because it's hard work, they fit the same engine in jags and some other cars, albeit with different CEO's etc and they don't seem to have such problems.why do you come to that conclusion ?
