Hi all,
I've had a 2006 VX petrol for the last couple of years and I love it. That said, I've just bought a camper trailer (1200kg ATM) and I'm not too sure on how they go towing. Obviously it will use more fuel however I'm most interested in how they go both on and off-road and whether I should consider getting a diesel (Prado or otherwise..) for the additional low-down torque and economy.
I spent a couple of years in Cape York and found the Prado to be fine on the PDR and other dirt tracks however I never towed anything up there.
I'm planning a three month trip with the wife and kids to the Kimberley this year so if anyone has any experiences/reasons that may indicate my current Prado isn't up to towing the trailer I would love to hear from you.
Cheers
Steve
