Hardly a scientific test, but I did like the "tow off" where the guy flicks through the manual, can't be arsed to select the appropriate TR mode and just slams it into D - and still wins Wink

sorry.. dumb question - what would be the right mode for that ? low range I assume + what TR setting ? Also Gone : MY14 D4 SDV6 HSE : Barolo Black + Almond
Sadly Gone : MY08 D3 TDV6 HSE : Stornoway + Alpaca + Privacy + BAS Remap

I don't think there's any real "best mode" for towing - I would just use the setting that suits the conditions as though I didn't have a trailer on the back.

Saying that, Sand mode could be interesting when a 1 ton trailer hanging off the rear Laughing 2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE Auto Buckingham Blue

Well it started out as grass so GGS. After a couple of minutes of wheel spin, mud and ruts might have been more appropriate...
