And my 1984 110V8 pulled my 2000kg trailer much better than the Jeep
can. OK, the Jeep can pull it fine, and with fairly effortless use of
power compared to the V8 landrover, but it still can't pull it in a
straight line .

110 = 1850kg approx. Jeep = 1500kg approx.

Mind you, the LR90 I used for a while also had no problems and it is
much nearer the Jeep's weight...

I have to say I miss my 110...

Now looking at a Toyota Hilux Surf...
and a Ford Explorer...
can't afford another 110...
