Had to get a new tow vehicle after buying new van as the towball weight on new van was massive and owing to the fact that our tow vehicle is only our 2nd car I picked up this neat 100 series with very low k's for a very good price!

Drops 25mm in the rear end when van loaded on, not too bad for 240kg ball weight!

Came already set up to tow with Dual Batteries. Electric Brakes, Trans Cooler, Rear Suspension air bags and neat as a pin!

Well ended up with withdrawal symptoms and had to get another Toyota.... Not really withdrawals but the old Pajero had a few issues and came across an offer I could not refuse and ended up with a good condition, low K's 120 series Prado.

Almost setup for the trips away... Just waiting for the rear drawers to arrive then it's all done when fitted.

Attached is a photo taken at a local boat ramp carpark after fitting and adjusting the brake controller and setting up the WDH.
Cheers,
David
