Ztt Diesel Auto for tow car?

LANDGIRL · 10th November 2007, 19:07

Hi Guys, not sure how popular I'm going to be but I've always lusted after a 75, and now I need a towcar and I'm thinking of a ZTT, good or bad idea ??

Hi Landgirl, welcome to the club:lol: The ZTT is a fantastic towcar, are you looking for petrol or diesel? Both the Diesel and the 2.5 petrol are well up to large towing loads We need a few more lady members, Scooterchick and Tashax are around somewhere but we need some more female members to keep the fellows under control; Dave

I thought one of the other regular posters on here was female too...
I'm not saying who in case I'm wrong....

welcome Landgirl, your choice of car for towing is excellent, enjoy the forum everyone is friendly and there is tons of excellent tips and advice with regards our cars.

The ZTT V6 actually has a lower and closer gear ratio box so would make a good tow car apart from they don't have much low end grunt so you would be up and down the box constantly.
For serious towing either a 75 or ZT CDTi is the car I would choose in fact I did as I do tow a car transporter with cars on from time to time and I find the CDT very good at it

Hi Landy, welcome to the club and the forum.

ZTT Diesel would be your best bet if you are towing heavy loads on a regular basis, don't discount the V6 completely though, we have plenty of members towing pretty hefty caravans with that derivative. My personal choice would be the V6 Auto if regular use not required.

I am biased.

Don't forget when you get your car to put the details i.e. ZTT CDTI on your profile + approx area e.g. Manchester, Bristol etc. as it saves everybody asking the questions when you post a problem or want to find local service garage etc. Dave PS. anyone else reading this please do the same

Thanks guys,

Got to be a diesel, auto would be best.

Will I have have much choice for about 8/10K?

Choice of just about any on the used market.

First one I can come up with, just as an example.

BTW for less than £300.00 these cars can be modified to give up to 170BHP rather than the designated 135 and tons more low down torque. See Roverrons ad. at the top of the page
