Hey guys,
I'm moving to perth in a couple of weeks, and one of the early tasks will be to set myself up with a boat and tow wagon.
I'm really confused about what to tow with, as everything over there boat-wise that ticks most boxes seems to be in the 2.5T range on the trailer. I'm guessing this means I probably want a minimum of 3T towing capacity.
Utes are out, as the Mrs doesn't like them, and the car will primarily be a family SUV.
Budget is about $40k max, so that gets me a relatively new Fortuner, MUX, Everest or a slightly older Prado or much older cruiser or patrol. I quite like the look of the Jeep Grand Cherokee too.
I like the more luxury/comfortable models due to it being a family wagon. Doesn't need to be a hardcore offroader, but 4x4 is pretty essential.
I'm worried about the well known DPF issues with most common rail diesels in my price range (2015-2019). Is it that big of a worry? Do I just go petrol and not worry?
Are there other better options I should look at?
Keen on personal experiences and particularly educated opinions from mechanics etc.
Cheers,
A
