Default Mav/Terrano feature

Just have a message from the editor of Practical Caravan magazine on their forum asking about my Maverick. Apparently they are doing a used car feature about Mavs and Terranos in the December issue.

I think that's great. I often buy caravan magazines then regret it because their full of towcar tests where they rate the best towcar as a 4.7 Land Rover Discovery weighing in at around £47k. In my opinion they forget about the humbleTerrano in their used car tests.

I always see at least two or three of them on every Caravan site I visit, just a week ago at Grin Low (Nr Buxton) there were 4 (if you include 2 Mavericks) ranging from P Reg to 52 plates. All of them doing an honest and capable job of pulling some big caravans.

I feel quite emotional now

I think the Terrano 2 is a super motor for towing .The TD27ti engine pulls my twin wheeler 5 berth about like I am hooked up to a steam train.

Diesel yes a good tow car, but unfortunately I would not call my old 2.4 a good tower, the ratios just didnt seem right for the torque range. Too much gear changing on hilly motorways when towing my caravan I felt. I like to be able to leave it in 5th and not worry like when i'm using my works Hi-Lux d-cab. Now that is an awesome tow truck!
I call it the turbo tug

OOops, me thinks I have to go to "SPECSAVERS", page 108-109, I would have thought they would have put the feature before the Pathfinder and the Shogun.lol
