We are buying it as a third vehicle to tow an Ifor Williams 505 horse trailer.

Am looking online to find ones for sale and am based in the East Midlands if anyone has any suggestions on places to go to purchase one.

Many thanks

Hi and welcome mate.

The Terrano is a very good shout for a Tow vehicle and you can get a lot of bang for your buck if you hold out and shop around.

I myself have a 2.7 Commercial highly modified and have also just purchased on behalf of my Grandad a 3.0 litre SVE Short Wheelbase with all the toys.

If you're carrying loads of kit or passengers then you may be better off with the Long Wheelbase but I'm not a fan of the long ones :hide

I would personally go for a 2004, the 2005 - 2007 ones had a massive hike on road tax and you'll be paying almost £500 for 12 months :O

Good luck with the hunt, report back with some links if you find any you like the look of and we'll offer our advice and opinion
