Towing with an Amarok

[Stuart J]

is it really capable with only a 2.0 engine?

Looking at a 180hp one, would be looking to tow up to 3 tonne some days.

My mates got a 8speed auto one and pulls a cattle trailer really well

 

[Lincs Lass]

Its 2hp more than my 3.4 LC which is only rated for 2.8

Land Rover has a 2.2 and 120 odd hp, and the Ranger has the same 2.2 with 150hp (160 in the facelift) and they both manage trailers just fine.

Mine spends a lot of time towing very capable truck, tows as well as any other if not better.

I hope so, just bought one, it is 180 hp after all.

Just looked and the V6. It's f##king gorgeous!

It's almost twice as much to lease and everything else, though. It's Discovery money

Prices were announced in November for new V6 models. Due in around March. Still quite a few older models on dealer forecourts. Buying groups etc still crunching the numbers on discounts.

That's (top) Aventura spec. Brought in specifically as dealer demo car for new model launch. Can't be ordered so I was told, only Trendline and Highline spec.

Edit - and all 'launch' Aventuras in the country will only be in that blue colour which is specific to the spec.

Swindon VW have a top spec V6 in stock ready for delivery.

it'll be priced high so it doesn't sell too quick when its a launch car and there hard to get
