Hi guys,
Firstly hoping everyone is safe and well during this challenging time, and not to bored at home.
I am a new member to the group having recently purchased our first van and awaiting to take delivery on expanda 20.64.
I was awaiting my new work car and hoping to negotiate a vehicle to tow. However I have needed up with a Hyundai Sante Fe Elite, at least it will tow the Boat.
My wife also has a work car being a Kia Sportage which doesn’t help at all.
We are a family of 6 and try to get away as much as we can mostly off grid camping. Mostly to lakes / rivers to fish or ski.
Being that we 90% of the time we take a boat aswell we take 2 cars.
As we will have to buy a 3rd vehicle, (well only one we own) purely just to be used for travels, so won’t be used otherwise, I’m considering all options.
I upgraded the Payload on van to max being 600kg. So looking at a vehicle with 3.5T capacity
I’m trying to get my head around the whole weight topic.... I still have to google a few things to understand what things are and mean... abit of a novice.
Im seeking some advice from you, the brains trust about any advice or experience you can offer to help me.
I’d love a LC200 but with what I just spent on the van, I’ve depleted the budget abit. Looking around 30-40k.
Looking at so far:
Ford ranger wildtrak
Ford Ranger XLT
Isuzu DMax
I’ve opted for a Ute as if we take 2 cars we don’t need another 7/8 seater. And it offers a little more flexibility, well from this novice brain.
Any input / discussion would be much appreciated.
cheers
