I tow with a Range Rover 4.6 HSE,  Does anyone know if tow mirrors with this are illegal ?

Someone told us because of its size, you dont need them..

Any recommendatons ??

Hi Emma

Welcome to the website

It is not illegal to fit a set of exteded mirrors to your vehice but as ita a Range Rover I wouldnt think you would need them. if you feel easier with them on then go for it.

the only legal requirement is thet you must have a clear vision down the die of the trailer being towed

hope this helps.

I use the same mirrors I had for my 4.6 hse and use them now on my ranger,I can`t see down the sides of the van completly without them,but then I couldn`t when I had the Rangie,but it is a personal choice especially when reversing it dosn`t cost anything to think about other s around you.I see many vehicles towing who don`t have mirrors at all,it dosn`t make sense to me ? .

Can i ask how you find the Range Rover for Towing, we thinking of getting one , which will be gas and petrol and using it as our tow car,

We recently brought Range Rover HSE 4.6 with LPG conversion. Its great we have just covered 600 miles in total (300 towing) and bought £102 of LPG in and £15 of petrol.

We tow a Compass Omega and have had no problems, weight is not an issue really and it never struggled even on the steepest hills - TomTom decided on a short cut!!!

I also use it for day to day driving, work, school run etc. Other than then obvious large car small parking spaces problem.

I think its great, ideal tow car, no effot and MPG with a gas conversion make it as affordable as a family car.

Get one you'll never look back...

oh cool thanks for that info we will def look at it then, need something that will pull but will also be econimical
