Good Tow Cars?

[fatz]

yea 500-550 nm for the 3 litre tdi depending on year model

700+ for the 4.2 tt tdi

i considered a cayeen but like the tow rag the extra 13 inches( for the ladies), gives you alot more boot space which i need

[hrd-hr30]

I take it all back Matt - falcodores are clearly the best tow cars. god only knows what their engineers were thinking when they limited them to just 1600kg without load stabilisers and 80km/h at their max tow rating. While the big 4WDs get much higher tow ratings without any caveats. falcodores tow better, stop better and crash 4 times less often than 4WDs! lol

Have they broken you Harry???.

Whilst we tow with an EF Falcon wagon I would never ever say it's a tower's delight. It crap but I don't want a bloody 4WD sitting in my driveway doing nothing.

And NOW we have these rich bastards posting the great attributes of Euro 4WD's. You blokes are kidding yourselves,,,just can't wait till that control unit fails again,,,and why are you guy's using the 4 ring circus crap when clearly an X5 has been the euro daddy for over 10 years now. I very confused.

Cheers

, really? I find that statement ridiculous!

[Big Fella]

now this is a good tow rig! and it's also for sale

[Big Fella]

And my new tow rig, don't even notice there is a car trailer on the back to be honest

[Marlin]

Yes my mate Mingay has a similar Chev with a Supercharged big clock in it (on gas). Tows nicely, but FARK ME is it expensive to run!!!!!

this one is only runnin an injected 350 chev, highway driving isn't much worse than my old vs wagon 13-15l per 100km.

around town is shocking tho. lucky i dont have to drive it far too work

[DCIEVE]

The old man is selling his f truck if anyone is looking for a good tow rig. Privately hoping it doesn't sell so I don't lose access to it though!

I am looking at getting a new car and will need to be able to tow my R33 GTR, has anyone had any experience with the new Kia Sorento. I would be looking at getting the Platinum in diesel. 2000KG towing capacity

There is also a G6E turbo coming up soon at work (ex company car) which has a heavy duty tow bar. 2300KG towing capacity

Would any of these cars be good for towing??

Cheers in advance

[fatz]

calling neil

how is the falcoon old son

time for a 4wd?

[boxheadmr]

vesh, G6E turbo is great check my posts a few pages back for fuel econ and feedback - although check with Harry first

I've had my 2003 3L TD Navara for 6 months now, still living the dream, tow my 33 about once a month. Doesn't use much juice as long as I'm not in a hurry It's my daily too, get around 750kms from a tank, mostly because I drive like an old man though.

thats not bad, my BT-50 gets 700km per 55Lt.thats when the light comes on, tank is 70Lt so there is easy another 100-150km in it

Towed my 33 with my little BT-50 ute the otherday..I thought it might struggle a bit, but quite the opposite, it towed it like a champion...overtaking on the freeay and all..

Tows better than my mates Foulcan ever did.

nasty....at least the stages was close enough to rescue the trailer. funnily enough the stagea pulled the foulcan up catherine hill too.

but i bet a foulcan motor is shitloads cheaper than a stagea, or even a q7 motor.
