Good SUV for outback caravan towing

Answered by Graham Smith · 19 Jun 2017

The Discovery hasn’t done a lot of kays for its age, presumably those it has done have been tooling around town. If it’s in great shape, has been well maintained and serviced and hasn’t been used off-road I would tend to go for the Land Rover. Against that the Jeep has a good reputation as a towing vehicle, and it’s new, which adds to its appeal.

Answered by Graham Smith · 10 Nov 2017

The best thing to do would seem to be to get out of it, either by selling it or trading it in. If you’ve kept a record of the dealer visits and what was done on each occasion you could seek to talk to Jeep about them buying it back, or giving you a good deal on a trade-in on a new model. The problem with that is that you would end up with another Jeep, and the possibility of more trouble.
