Automatic or manual - which is best for towing?
I am looking to buy a Land Rover Discovery to tow a trailer and two horses in all weathers and conditions. Is a manual or automatic gearbox preferable for this sort of task?

Hard to find a manual. The advantage of an auto is no heavy wear of the clutch on take-off, particularly when towing in tricky situations or backing up the horse-box.

Imperious on and off-road, hugely practical, more desirable than the current Discovery, refined and high-quality interior.
