isn't there a problem with total train weight on some discos going above 7.5 tonnes fully laden, meaning you need an hgv licence if you're not careful with trailer plating?

We have had 3 Freelanders.

I earlier Freelander 1 and 2 Freelander 2's

Been great never had anything major go wrong, not the cheapest to run on fuel though

Towing ability good, regularly tow horse box and towed car transporter with a car on it 200 miles a few months ago without any issues.

Shogun. Wouldn’t touch the green oval. We’ve had twice as many engines as vehicles in our family (freelancer and range rovers), vintage defenders aside.

Max weight of a trailer with over-run brakes is 3500kg, and a Discovery is around 3300kg MGW?  So you should not need a license over B+E.

My mum has used Volvo estates for her horse for the last 15 years - first a V70 and now a V60 with D5 engines and 4wd, not that that's totally necessary. Only one horse means she's within the 1800kg limit on the V60 .
