Older freelander

We need a towcar for light use and have seen a really freelander in local garage - its a 1999 2.0di - bit basic but would welcome any suggestions or advice on this model, also not sure if this will be too sluggish for towing?

thanks

if you want to tow stuff, get a powerstroke. but i assume you are in in europe somewhere. i don't know is powerstrokes are available over there. ours is awesome
