The 2015 Land Rover Discovery range of configurations is currently priced from $13,750.
The 2015 Land Rover Discovery carries a braked towing capacity of up to 3500 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The Land Rover Discovery 2015 prices range from $25,520 for the basic trim level SUV Tdv6 to $48,290 for the top of the range SUV Sdv6 Landmark.
This could be anything form a broken or maladjusted gear selector lever or knob to a completely failed transmission. Along the way, the problem would be the torque converter, or even a case of low transmission fluid (that has escaped somehow).
But considering the reputation of these vehicles, you’d be wise to also consider an electronic problem as the cause here. A good workshop should be able to scan the vehicle to see if a fault code has been logged by the onboard computer. That’s the place to start, and then rule out other possibilities from there.

I wouldn’t be concerned about the cylinder configuration of a particular engine. What’s more important is how much power and torque that engine makes, and how towing-friendly that power delivery is. By which we mean how smooth and flexible is the delivery. What you don’t want is a peaky engine that needs to be revved before it delivers the good as that puts a strain on everything and make the vehicle tricky and unpleasant to drive.
The good news is that all the vehicles you’ve nominated have good, solid powerplants that are well suited to towing a caravan. Modern turbo-diesels – especially with an automatic transmission – are ideal for this task.
What you should go for, however, is the vehicle with the highest towing rating. In this case, that’s any of the Grand Cherokee, MU-X or older Discovery, all of which have variants that can handle a towed load of 3.5 tonnes. The Everest is almost as good with 3.1 tonne, but only almost. The problem is that the van you’ve nominated can easily weigh between 2.2 and 2.8 tonnes which, with a 3.1-tonne limit, leaves you very little headroom for water tanks and camping gear. You’d be amazed at how much a fully loaded caravan weighs, so don’t rely on the brochure, load the van and take it to a weighbridge to make sure the vehicle you have can legally tow it.

Land Rover still refers to the third-generation, L462-series model as the Discovery 5, but the number was dropped in some markets to distance it from the L319-series LR3 and LR4, which were the North American names for the Ford-era Discovery 3 (2003) and Discovery 4 (2009) respectively.
Though not officially confirmed, it is believed that the name change in both instances was due to the poor reliability reputation that the earlier models gained. The same fate befell the Freelander badge, when its successor became known as the much-more-chic Evoque.
