My towcar, 2001 Shogun 3.2Did, Tows like a train, stupid amounts of torque, never works up a sweat! Can tow 3300kg, and a comfy motorway cruiser.
You can easily get a tidy low mile example for than sort of money, and they don't breakdown like landrovers :woohoo: Ours is on about 115,000 miles and a 2001 model and has never let us down.
Fuel economy is late 20's to early 30's whoever I have a lead foot.
My Ifor Williams LT126 The jimny fits perfectly on it, and narrow enough to fit into a single garage

I used to have a 2.0 petrol Grand Vitara and that was worse on fuel, and the shogun don't mind the weight on the back, with the GV it was overweight and far to heavy on the back..
My best of all was my 3.0 V6 Pajero, towed like a train again like the Shogun. With the LPG conversion it worked out cheaper for me to commute 100 miles a day compared to our old 1.6 Megane, quit that job now
and have a company van.
