Hi, Just upgraded from a 2.7 terrano (still sitting on the drive) to a 2000 W reg 3.0TD Patrol SE+, Unfortunatly with an auto box!! I tow an industrial 2.5 ton box trailer and need advice on how to set the auto box to tow for best fuel economy.
i.e. do I use overdrive on the motorway?
set to hold,AT, or power.
2 wheel or 4 wheel drive.

O my this thing has so many buttons on the dash!!

I wanted a manual box but a 2000 (W) 3.0TD Y61 with 95K for £4,000 I'm not going to complain.
