Yup. The 200/300tdi has plenty of power to move a 4500lb rover around, but even adding another 1000lbs of stuff inside or behind it makes it feel VERY heavy. A 3.5-4.6 can flat tow another rover, but there is no way you'd be able to manage that on the highway with a tdi.you're not towing 15000lb with any rover engine
Of course not. but thats when you would feel the need. Like from a 8.2 liter gas engine in a chevy. as apposed to the duramax.you're not towing 15000lb with any rover engine

Stew, seriously?Look at the rpm that the diesel starts making torque. The gas engine is just coming off idle and that little diesel is ready to pull stumps.
If this is a XD then please don't do an LS conversion. There just isn't enough of these trucks to have people butchering them. If you do this I will make a voodoo doll in your likeness and do bad shit to it for a decade.
Are you interested in having this truck fixed professionally? Or would you consider selling it? I would do either for you and I have a shop near the state line of Illinois and Wisconson.
7700lbs with a braked trailerI think a Disco has a 2,000 lb tow rating.
Even if your bottom end is toast, RV8s are dime a fucking dozen. $800 gets you a good running engine shipped to your doorstep.I'm almost 100% that's what's causing it.

XD is just a trim option, essentially. There's nothing differentiating XD trucks mechanically from any other D1, so I personally don't see how LS-conversion of an XD would make it less true to form than LS-conversion of any other D1.
But that's me - I don't see any particular value in XD, or GDE, or Trek, or G4, versions.
