Hi all
New to the forum, I'm looking to tow a hired Expanda 16.49-1 over the school holidays with my Prado 150 series (2.8 diesel auto).
My biggest concern is that I have unmodified factory suspension, am I likely to have issues with the Expanda weight? Is there anything I should do to manage it (ie. pack the back of the van to ease off the tow ball weight), or not worry about it?
Any other general advice would be appreciated ... I've never towed anything heavier than a Jayco Swan and haven't given any thought to whether I'd need to drive differently with an Expanda. I generally just stick in in 4th (5th on the flat) when towing and otherwise drive normally.
Cheers
