Range rover sport

Anyone tow their boat with one of these? I was considering getting one......

I hope you have a lot of money for repairs.They aren't the most reliable vehicles on the road. I go by the Land Rover Dealership every week.They sell about 2 -5 vehicles a month, but have 5 technicians who stay busy as a result of regular failures of this vehicle.They love them because of job security.

Specialty tires are a drag too.

If you want a nice SUV in that size that can tow I would look at a the 4runner based Lexus, or the Toyota Land cruiser, or the VW Toureg, the Porche version, or the big Audi diesel. Of course a fully loaded 4runner is nice too, but the newest 4runner does not have the v-8 option anymore so it's only rated to tow 5,000 lbs.

I have heard the same. Very problematic vehicles. Nice units, but they love the shop.

Just go get a SRT-8 Jeep like I did it tows like a champ and looks baller while doing it! there is a thread in here about it. Called towing a tige rz2.

I use to tow my 24ve with a 2011 sport it works ok not perfect but it works

I owned the normal Range Rover not the sport and towed The RZ2 and my brother's MB 23 TWB with it. It will do the job just fine. However the boats did tend to tow the vehicle at times. The smaller wheelbase made it so the Range Rover moved around a lot. My wife gets motion sickness at times and it moved it around enough for her to tell me I had to get a new tow vehicle. The only other issue I ever had towing with it was when I left the trailer hooked up to it for an entire weekend. That freaked out the computer for the air suspension because it though I had overloaded the tongue weight. It shut down all the systems and the dash looked like a lit up Christmas tree lol. Unhooked the trailer and pulled the E brake while going idle speed and it cleared everything. It was just dumb luck I tried that. All in all a Range Rover is a great vehicle. It isn't the the best tow vehicle out there but it definitely gets the job done. If you just tow short distances I wouldn't hesitate at all about getting one. If you can get one new or a certified pre-owned with a warranty that is the way to go. Most of the issues that happen with them are electrical but the quality is vastly improved over the late 90s and early 2000s that were loaded with problems.

Great vehicle but not build for towing!! discovery LR4 is a better option but land cruiser V8 would be my choice out of those mentioned

My buddy has one he likes it. This is his second one and no problems. Tows pretty good but not great. We have a few tow vehicles. 12 Tahoe z-71 Nissan Titan and BMW x5 4.8. The BMW tows the best then the Titan followed by the Tahoe. The bmw Trans is awesome always in the right gear and does not get pushed around we towed our 26 velocity to FL from PA was great got 16 mpg with it. Also tow our 22v with it and our master craft maristar 21.

I recently purchased a 2012, Ford F150, FX 4x4, SuperCrew with the EcoBoost motor. This truck averages 17 to 21 mpg. It has 365 horsepower with 11,300 lbs. towing capacity.

I’ve never owned a truck before this purchase. The ride is great and the power band is outstanding, even when towing our boat.

I was pleased to buy an American made vehicle, which I haven't done in 20+ years. The incentives were also very attractive.

Finally, Ford didn't accept a government bailout. I don't mean to offend anyone, but I'm not a fan of the Nanny State.

Good luck with your vehicle purchase

The best part about towing with a diesel truck is the boat is just like a little toy behind it.. The trucks always in control and showing the trailer whos boss. Never have to work about push, sway, power, and your fuel mileage is pretty much the same towing or not towing. Not to mention they have the longest factory warrantys and they have the BEST resale value.. Its something you can pretty much get all your money back out of.. =) Carry on... My next truck will be a MEGA cab for the amount of space they have inside !

The newer Range Rover's reliability is no longer a concern. I talked to a guy who is a tech at a LR dealership and he said it is no comparison to the older ones and his income has gone down in the last few years because they don't get as many of them in the bays as they used to.
