Re: Towing vehicle, what to buy?

Well, thanks for the advice fellas, after considering all the input diesel went out the window, just doesn't suit our usage profile, went for a Hilux rear wheel drive 4 litre petrol (just in time for the fuel excise hike) dual cab, should do everything we need comfy, lowish k's and in reasonable nick.

Again, thanks for all the input.

Cheers
Matt

had to move the racecar (on the trailer tonight) and so for the first time, the Gen-F Tourer got used as a tow car.

Well i thought a 270kw SSV wagon was a great towcar but nothing beats a 340kw one .. along with dinner plate sized brake rotors
squeezed by 6 piston AP racing brakes meant 'what race car and trailer' on the back. This thing just did not notice them... :kuda:
