Bought new tow vehicle
 

Sold my Formula 336 and bought a 25 Fountain (beak boat) center console so I had no need for the 2500 Suburban, plus it was time for a new car. Getting this truck this week. 2003 Range Rover with 21k miles. I have had 4 new Chevy Trucks/SUV's in the last 6 years so it was time for something different.

I was torn between this and the new Tahoe. Certified price on the Rover is the same as a new Tahoe. Depreciation of the new Tahoe and used Rover should be about the same, and with certification the Rover's warranty is longer than the Tahoe.

Interesting fact is that the rated towing capacity for the Rover is #7700 while the Tahoe is #6700. Figure that one out.

That sounds a bit optimistic on Range Rovers specs. I've driven (not towed) with a 2000 (V8) and I can't say I would want to try that much. My wifes bosses husband tows his 17' Whaler with it , but that's an entirely different story.

Mark - I think that this version of the range rover has 80hp more than a 2000 rover. This one was desiged by BMW and has the 4.4 BMW motor in it.

That's a good lookin' truck. Congrats.

It's funny how Rover's have been known for their offroad capability, but you wouldn't catch me dead wheeling one of those things. :cool: A bit too much money to be taking off road IMO.
