Thread: 3.5 Tonne Towing 4x4

New VW Amarok v6 turbo pulls like a teenage school boy!! I really want to test 1 out.
Hilux tow capacity is crap and they don't like towing much anyway.
Ranger tow well but the gearboxes shit out in next to no time.
Holden engines burn oil and are getting replaced all the time. Know of quite a few that have had 3 or more engines so far.
Mazda are now tied up with Isuzu instead of Ford, so there's an improvement straight away.
The Dmax pull well. I have used 1 to tow a race car from CHCH to Hampton Downs a few times. Bloody awesome. Much nicer than a Hilux that's for sure. And used heaps less fuel!! The hilux used almost as much as the V8 petrol Range Rover

Work has a manual 100 series cruiser on the yard at the mo. It is immaculate!! 185ks, 5spd, and factory rear diff locker. It's a real unicorn. They just want a small fortune for it or I'd be all over it

Hardly, there's a 3 year gestation period b4 you see the super ute.

Like the thought of the VW with V6.
