Such a brilliant engine, but it does have a fair degree of turbo lag, very noticeable when unladen, not so much when towing. Now its not all plain sailing, It does have a number of negatives. Reverse camera works very well, makes hitching the van a one man showįeatures, Dual zone air con, Cruise control, Sat nav. The car is very comfortable, quiet, and very car like to drive.and a surprisingly agile turning circle Towing 2 ton, on 2 recent trips of of 10,000km and 2500km average fuel 12.9 ltr /100kmĪnd the bonus a 93 ltr fuel tank, which gives us a very useful range of 600km plus when towing with a good bit in reserve, and 900km without Van. If required when towing, paddle shifters work well, but more often than not, leave it to look after itselfĮconomy, around town about 8.5 ltr /100km overtaking and hill climbs is a breeze.Ĩ speed auto blends perfect with the engine, is never left struggling or hunting for the correct gear. It can tow 3.5 ton with a tow ball rating of 350kg, so the safety margin was hugeģ.0 ltr diesel, what a beast, 570nm of torque, Once moving, has more than enough power to cope with anything.

That left Ford Territory pretty much an obsolete car, but fit for purpose and drives well That eliminated Rangers, Everest, Landcruisers etcĪ few others could handle 2 ton, only just, but struggle with tow ball weight., So the safety margin was too small for my liking without being full on 4wd and needs to drive car like. Jeep Grand Cherokee, So far has been a wonderful carįirstly, we wanted a vehicle to tow a caravan just under 2 ton with a ball weight of about 180kg.
