Default Towing Questions

Im a newby!!.. I am finally looking at purchasing a 03-04 Disco that I have been wanting for tooo long. I have researched all over but needed to ask you guys one big question..

I am also purchasing a 24' camper ~5000lbs as well..

Nope.

It is rated here in the US for 5500#'s, the rest of the world it is rated for 7700#'s.
Exact same truck just a higher rating because we here in the US are sue happy and they are covering their butts.
As long as you have trailer brakes and a trailer brake controller you are good to go.

Trailer brakes are the key. The Discovery could tow your house but that doesn't matter if it can't stop it.

Go for it. Stopping is so over-rated.....
