I enjoyed that. Not sure what it proves, if anything or the exact science behind it, but I'll just assume it means the D5 is the best 4x4 out of them! James

I did want to see if the D5 could pull two together though! James

I'm always sceptical about these tug of wars, its usually whichever vehicle is heaviest and has the best traction wins.

I can remember seeing a video where a td5 disco pulls a tractor unit and everyone is saying how amazing it was.

Put a ballast box on the 5th wheel and the tractor unit would walk away easily not even knowing the disco was attached! Running Restoration Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/post323197.html#323197

I particularly hate it when Land Rover do a train-towing stunt. The rolling resistance on a train is an order of magnitude lower, i.e. a 40 ton train is the same difficulty as towing a 4 ton trailer on road.
