  • Will it tow ok?

    Hi All,
    My husband has given me the task of researching the best all round vehicle to tow our van (due to arrive next week).
    We have bought a 24' Jayco full height van,weighs about 2100kg before loading. We are prepared to keep the weight down with loading,very little water and contents etc.
    We really love the Prado's and it would be the best vehicle for the other months of the year that we arent on holidays but given that we will be sitting right on the max tow weight would we be doing the wrong thing buying a Prado? We prefer for various reasons not to step up to a Landcruiser or Patrol.
    Others we thought of was the Jeep Grande Cherokee and Pathfinders,though not our first choice.
    Any advice would be very much appreciated.

    Cheers!

    there are others on this site that are towing 2500kg vans.
    stick with the deisel (more torque = better towing) and you should be ok.
    i assume that the new van would have electric brakes and breakaway.
    with all of this you will be good.
