Well, even the towing capacity is right, but I wonder what the range is towing 3500kgs?

Oh, and what a shame they only had pictures of the one they dropped the shipping container on to put on the website.

It certainly has a completely flat loadspace:

And this spec looks like it could be fun

I don’t suppose you have any pointers to get started? I’m struggling to find any guides to get the rear exec seats removed. There doesn’t appear to be the same 2 clips underneath that are on the standard seats?

I have a seat that won’t move forwards/back but recline is ok. I can see a red connector unplugged 🤔

Following up, they are the same clips that hold the exec seat in place. As the seat wouldn’t move forwards, it was impossible to get close to the clip as the seat base is so deep. A gentle pull on seat pulled the clips off the seat rather than unclipping from the frame. All sorted now.

2006 Range Rover HSE 4.4 V8 Buckingham Blue

I didn't read all the replies - so apologies if this was mentioned before...
But would this be too Proletariat?

Get some 12mil Plywood and wrap it in outdoor carpet.
I did not take the time to measure the 'drop' between the top of the angled seat and the floor of the 'boot' but call it 3". span the slope and the dogs have a nice pallet upon which to ride.

you could even do it in a couple of sections and if you have a Jig Saw or scroll saw - you could fit the nooks and crannies. If not, stuff moving blankets or beach towels in the sides.

When you are allowed a night on the town - you can pull it out and have a 4-5 passenger truck once again... 2006 L322 HSE LUX 4.4NA Jag V8 Buckingham Blue/Ivory - 'Col Reb'

Funny enough that occurred to me, just sling in a suitably cut sheet of ply and lose a few inches of headroom. Why make it more complicated than it needs to be. Geoff
