    That depends on the hilux. NA 3L then yea, 5L not as bad, anything turbo'd is much better.

    Never had a problem with weight, towed a MZ110 with no issues

    Hokey once again come's with the truth. go the old 4.2 diesel patrols. They are just in your range. bolt ons and knowledge are everywhere. and will handle an absolute flogging offroad.

    If you like finesse go a range rover or if you can afford it a disco. but be prepared for random electrical gremlins. and you have to baby them off road for fear of snapping axles, (but much much much comfier and expensive off the shelf items will fix all your problems)

    i probaly should add with the tow vehicle i put up, that its a moving Hotel and surround sound entertaiment room as well as a tow vehicle and what ever.

    My Dad builds these trucks for ppl that want them for Race teams or hot rodders they are a lil more then $5,000 though.

    We towed my 86 up to perth with a landcruiser. In the rain, with stupid amounts of wind. for 9hrs. It was good. landcruiser had 600 000kms on it, and i think the most work its had done is a replaced water pump. landcruisers for bulletproofness

    Previously i've used my brothers 300,000km 2.7L Petrol 4x2 Hilux to travel some 800km return trips to the south and back. Great on fuel, no trouble moving along at 130km/h. Havent had my SS-V ute towing the car yet, although towing just my ski it does drink a little more than usual (expected) so it'll be interesting to see. But on the other hand, the 350kw its putting out should hardly require any throttle to get moving
