Out of interest does anyone caravan with a 5.0 S/C ? I only ask as I've seen one I fancy and I was after another full-fat 'cos I just never really found a lot of love for the Disco. Not really sure why.

Anyway, since I only do 4k miles a year in the FFRR I fancy the Charger which I found was "quite lively" on the test drive Plus they are all AB spec which saves a lot of messing around looking for specc'ed up Vogue's ('cos I'm a toy freak) and I really love the colour of this one.

But............what I couldn't get a feel for was the low down torque when towing. That's the only concern I have really as my old TDV8 was effortless but the D3 V8 petrol has much less grunt low down in the rev range. Sure it goes like stink once it gets to 3000 RPM but that's not exactly effortless towing.

When I tried to get the S/C to hold a high gear and just tweak the throttle a bit the thing just snorted, took 2 gears and was off like a Bride's nightie. I guess Command Shift is necessary when towing ??

All thoughts and expereinces appreciated. Out of interest, I know the 510 PS bit but anyone know the torque figures?

Thanks

I looked into the same thing recently, I can't remember what the torque was exactly but the 5.0 SC considerably less then the 4.4 TDV8 and I think it was for the 3.6 by less of a margin but I might be wrong.

I've towed a very heavy braked trailer with my 4.2 SC and hardly noticed it was there. As soon as the car notices somethings plugged into the trailer electrics it does modify it's behaviour somewhat. I can imagine a 5.0 would be a lot better and has a pretty flat torque curve and no turbo lag so it'll tow smoother too.

Never towed a caravan with mine but have recovered two cars (separately) on a proper car transporter trailer and I hardly noticed either was attached. Effortless best describes the experience and didn't seriously dent the the fuel consumption.

On a steep uphill section, had more than enough grunt to surprise/embarrass a hot hatch driver as well. All up towing weight with the heaviest of the two cars was close to 1.7 tonnes.

In summation I have a modicum of towing experience and find the 5.0SC more than adequate, if not the most economical  Should've been old enough to know better...doh!

I tow with a Supercharged, albeit a 4.2 - it is absolutely effortless and makes towing quite fun especially when you need to overtakes something  Stolen / Gone: 2006MY Supercharged LPG Autobiography - Zambezi Silver with Sand/Jet/Jet Oxford Leather.....
