Just a report on our recent trip to Spain.
Not only am I new to the Terrano 2.7tdi 2003 I had never used it to pull my caravan.
My caravan is about 1300kgs fully laden and she pulled like a dream. On our way down to Spain we experienced winds approaching 60mph. I kept a reasonable speed of 50 mph and the van never moved.
I have just done the MPG figures for the entire trip and I am pleasantly surprised.
On the way down 1500 miles I averaged 50 to 55mph and got an excellent return of 26mpg. On the way back I pressed the pedal a little and averaged 60mph but it still returned 23 mpg.
Having owned a Discovery I have to say that there was far more pulling power in the Nissan with a far better Mpg return.
So all in all an excellent trip.I can now recommend this vehicle to any caravan owner, who is having problems with an existing vehicle.
