The time I think has come to replace my galaxy 130
And would like something to cope well with towing and not worry about weights nose,loads etc
My list hoping to spend 10 k
Freelander 2 ( might struggle at price)
Sorento worried about fuel consumption
X-trail 2.0 173 ,not any heavier than galaxy?
Any thoughts or other suggestions?
I love the freelander badge and looks,just something about them
The Sorento would mean I'd never have to worry about weights again.
X-trail cheapest to run

We looked at all the above when looking for a newer tow car as our new to us van is heavier and wasn't a very good match for the FL1 we had at the time,but we went for the FL2 , reason being we have always had landrovers, defenders,discos and freelander 1's, we just like them so are probably very biased. But it tows our 1,500kg swift so well, we can't fault it at all, it's got plenty of power and feels really nice and stable, it's also a great everyday car for us too. Only downside is my 89 year old nan does have trouble getting in lol.
But I would of gone for the sorento if we couldn't have stretched our budget a bit, found that to be a very nice car.
Everyone will have their favorites depending on what they drive.
