One for the LR buffs please

Have been looking for a second 4x4 tow vehicle /workhorse and have just done a great deal on a Turbo diesel G reg 90 Truckcab with 32K miles on it one owner vehicle near me.....local hobby farmer, no real work. Needs a damn good T cut (faded red) and some Road Tax, but otherwise v clean. Seats are as new as has had seat covers on from new and has an ali Ifor Williams top.....

Question is: What is the max towing cap? Have found a few differing answers....anyone know the correct one please?

Won't be anywhere near capacity with the boats, but would be nice to know...

Thx

Forgot to say....i thought it was 3500kg (braked) but have been told that that is only the 110 /130 and that the 90 is less ????

They're all 3500kg braked.

Yep, that's correct.

Though if you put three and a half tons on the back of a TD, expect to be overtaken by snails

My first LR experience was in a 90 TD. Lot's of fun and they make my 300TDi feel like a Ferrari

I know...and I think it's a 19J

But at least its one of the later /last ones when apparently they had taken measures to overcome some of the reliability /failure issues....

Was a series 2a diesel.....'tricked up' with fairey OD and freewheeling hubs for me....spent endless hours in pursuit of 60 mph in rural West Wales....harder than it sounds!

Borrow a trade insurance policy and tell them that your trade. You'll save a fortunne on the indemnity.
