I purchased my first RRS 4.4 a month ago great car
I just used it for the first time to pull my twin axle caravan which weighs around 1900 kg
I have used several different vehicles to do this including 2 ford galaxy's both 2.8 which returned around 17 to the gallon
I also had 2 different model grand Cherokees a 2.7 diesel and a later 3 litre diesel merc v6 engine
I'm getting around 16.2 mpg around town when the wife drives it and around 14 if I drive as I have a heavy foot
To my amazement when pulling the caravan it returned around 16 mpg which after all the other cars dropped in consumption I expected the same thing from the RRS
I guess as such a big engine it doesn't matter what I'm pulling
With all the other cars I have also had to load the caravan near perfection so as to stop the caravan throwing the car around
This was not a problem with the RRS
To sum this up what a great towing vehicle
Just thought I'd share this with other RRS owners
Cosmo

We tow a twin axle bessacarr 645 1900kg, with ease as you say great tow vehicle. Average towing mpg 22 with our my11 rrs tdvs

I tow my 2012 twin axle swift conqueror 645 with my 07 plate 2.7 (remapped) have no problems and getting around 23 mpg

Solo I can get 32-35 mpg with my13 8 speed sdv6 but towing getting between 17-22 which is worse than previous my10 6 speed tdv6

Still wouldn't change back though  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

TOWING !!!! I wouldn't dream of towing with my RRS or taking it off road OR letting anybody else travel in it for that matter .........

The one thing I have noticed with the RRS, is that it's to bloody easy to tow with !

So easy to forget you have the tin tent, and creep up over 70mph, as it's effortless.

I can see why there are quite a few 4X4 towing accidents....................... Cruise control is my friend.

TDV8, and around 21 mpg towing a 1475kg single axle caravan............ Which is good IMHO.

Is the only car that feels like its in control of the caravan/trailer.
My L200 is steered by the caravan in most conditions. 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
TDV8 Sport HSE...... Gone. Loved it but it didn't love me!!
Now rolling in MY10 Fullfat TDV8 Vogue. Slammed it to go round corners🙈
Cruising daily #56 mph in a Volvo V8. 😱
Lots of other toys in the cupboard...😜

tows big stuff well too

Even though I only get 16 mpg towing the caravan I just love the sound of the v8
When towing at 65 the engine is running under 2000 rpm
So not doing any work at all
Plus when I need extra power it's there

16..... I would be checking a few things or leaving the crates of beer at home. Even towing a 3 tonne digger I got 19-20 and I have lead feet  2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
