Felt stable and pulled the boat well.

Big respect to the L322, trailer and driver!

Not sure if anyone will be able to top that with a bigger load....... 2004 L322 4.4 V8 Vogue Bonatti Grey

What was the all up weight of trailer and boat?

I know my old TD6 pulled 3500 kg fine until it met a hill. Then it was either very noisy and slow, or quite noisy and very slow.

Think the driver wins the biggest set of balls for driving over the weight limit. Cabin cruiser like that would weigh in at at least 5ton I'd guess so trailer would prob be sitting at under 6 ton.

Regardless of the weight n the laws as let's face it with all busted them at done point it still shows what a great car the range rover is

That pics was before I left the marina... It was all strapped down good when I left...

Let's just say it was very heavy... Trailer alone was 1.2T

My td6 has been mapped to give 230bhp so no problem pulling it really..

The td6 in my opinion is the best of all tow cars. Even better than a Disco I had.

youve got bigger cahonas than me mate

strong statement this

i would argue that the 4.4 tdv8 may be better just my opinion im sure someone will pop along with there own opinion on the subject

but much respect for towing that boat mate 2012 Range Rover Westminster 4.4 TDV8

How did you not get pulled over?

Towing a flatbed with 3-4t on it in dense load such as aggregate you are inconspicuous that kind of sticks out somewhat! It’s not like they would have looked at it and been able to make anything other than that’s a tad over.....

Well done for getting away with it  There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Now I'm starting to wonder about these tdv8's
Are they a big difference to the td6?

td6 power output 177 PS (175 bhp - 130 kW) at 4000 rpm and a maximum torque of 390 Nm (287 lb.ft) at 2000 rpm.

4.4 tdv8 output 313 bhp and 700Nm torque not to mention 30mpg if your right foot isnt too heavy  2012 Range Rover Westminster 4.4 TDV8
