Reliable, luxury 4x4?

[pizzabadger]

I need something that can tow up to 3500kg and deal with farm tracks and muddy fields.

I have a Vogue SE at the minute but I'm fed up with it I know how ungrateful that sounds but ugh
I've had nothing but problems with it since I got it and now I just want something reliable but preferably with a similar level of comfort as I do lot of long journeys and it makes a big difference

Ford Expedition EL, lots of space, great off road and huge towing capacity.

They look nice but they don't seem to be available as a right hand drive and I don't really want a third row.

Volvo XC90. Utterly reliable and much nicer to drive around town. I'm on my second and would never go back to Range Rovers or Discos. I tend to keep mine for years, but I think there is now a hybrid version.

You will find servicing costs a pleasant surprise too.

I think the xc90 looks gorgeous but I hadn't really considered it as a friend got a v90 a couple of years ago and he's had quite a few problems with it
I'll definitely give it a proper look though

I’m in the same boat at the moment except our faithful shogun is definitely on the Bute I’ve been looking at a Navarra as I loved my x trails they where comfy.

Porsche Macan or Cayenne?

Very few 4x4s can tow the full 3500kg, that is one of Land Rover’s main selling points. Shame they are so horrendously unreliable.

The Toyota Land Cruiser, Mitsubishi Shogun & VW Touareg are the obvious alternatives.

I did look at the land cruiser as dh has just got a hilux which I love (but I don't want a pickup) but as far as I could see online it can only tow 3000kg

I hadn't considered a shogun as the hilux is replacing an l200 which I found horrendously uncomfortable and which wasn't particularly great off road but I'll maybe book a test drive and see if the shogun is any more comfortable.

The macan doesn't tow enough but the cayenne is definitely an option.

No problems at all with our Disco 5 but not as posh as a Vogue SE obvs. Tows 3500. Very capable off road

I had a disco 1 for nearly a decade and it was a brilliant car but I really dislike like the new shape.

Hi have a look at the Ssangyong Rexton, it can tow 3.5 tonnes and recently won 4x4 of the year. I have a very old one of f these but would definitely buy the new fancy version if I had the money!

Bentley Bentayga will tow 3500kg. Rolls Royce Cullinan the same. Both reasonably priced
