Yeah but Col, some of us with real tow vehicles have driven to our destination, set up the Expanda, had a 10 day holiday, packed up and are back home before the poor old TD42 has plucked top gear on the way there!

now play fair
half the holiday is the trip, so you may as well enjoy it, and see it
dont have to do 110km just to get there
100 suits me
Don't worry bigcol, I, and suspect if they're honest, most others too, only do 100 kph max when towing.
Hi Russ, we looked at most of the utes available at the time, ignored the Triton, a personal dislike (Sorry @17triton
) and the new Navara was not available at the time. We even looked at a Jeep but they were too expensive. The Hilux was ruled out because of its 2500Kg towing capacity, both the Colorado and the D-max I felt were pulling a lot more power from a smaller motor and would possibly have more problems because of it. So basically it was the motor size which swayed us to the BT50, the Ranger being a bit more expensive for much the same vehicle. Personal opinions only, I don't want to start another tug war. :fencing:
I don't know about that. I've "accidentally" sat on 120 a few times and then sped up to overtake. The al-ko friction hitch keeps the van in check at high speed. The cruiser just doesn't know the vans on!
All good @chartrock it would be a boring world if we all liked exactly the same thing wouldn't it.
