RE: To Buy or Not to Buy?
The tow rating is 5,000 lbs. That is with electric brakes of course.
Some have had a hard time finding the wiring harness for electric brakes but it is out there.
Others have tried to wire it themselves and had a hard time of it and yet others no problem.
But there are plug-n-play wire harness's out there, do a search on here for trailer wiring.
If all you want to do is install a flat four wire harness then get it from www.atlanticbritish.com, it is a 5 min install, thats what I did and I am very pleased with it.
And make sure that you test drive a couple before you buy so that you really know what to look for.

I wonder if it has anything to do with RUST!!! LOL We don't use salt here, shoot we're lucky if they put down gravel. I grew up west of Flint, Mi. My mom and dad and in laws still live there....I guess I could still call it home. But I'll never leave Montana!! I just checked craigslist and they have a 99 for $7000 and a 2003 for $10,000.

I'm considering purchasinga 2000 Disco II with 100,000 miles on it for the primary family vehicle. I'm tired of making payments and just want to pay cash for something and drive it. Seven seating and 4x4 are a must since we have a family of six that hunt, fish and camp. I've always wanted a Rover but it is a good purchase to make for the family? I have a Z71 Suburban so I'm used to forking money over for gas, but the maintenance on it is minimal. How's the maintenance cost on a Disco? How much can an experienced mechanic do himself wihout a ton of special tools? There's no Rover dealer here can you get parts at the Ford dealer. Any info would be great.
Thanks, Ron in Montana
