Old news. Rescue01 on here did that a few years back - towed a Tesco articulated lorry up a snowy hill using his D3
 LRs are a fond memory, apart from the maintenance.

Thats nothing......, the Disco Sport can pull a 108T train! just think what the D5 could tow Thumbs Up



That's nothing - back in 1989 a real Discovery, with a proper chassis, pulled a proper train - not that dinky little Hornby "00" train set with only 3 carriages! Razz Laughing

The greatest weight pulled by one horse(the four legged animal type) is 100 tons Shocked
 It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

As a professional body, how does this affect their insurance towing over 3.5 tonne, and what about their risk assessment?
Devil's advocate you understand.

Na, to big a distance between the Disco and the Daf, look closely when the Daf goes up a gear you can see the strap drop slightly and take the tension again. Wink

You don't need a Disco to tow a lorry, a Subaru (WRX) can do it.
