    Is a two-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive ute better for towing?

    I'm a lawn-mowing contractor looking to buy a diesel ute to tow a trailer six days a week. My budget is $35,000. Would you recommend a two-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive?

    Unless you need a vehicle capable of driving over rough or slippery ground, I would buy a 2WD diesel ute. It will be more economical than a 4WD and will tow your trailer without problems. Your budget will get you an upmarket ute. Look at the Toyota Hilux or new Mitsubishi Triton. Also, there are good deals available on the Mazda Bravo and Ford Courier for much less. For little more than $20,000 you'll get a 2WD diesel with a tray and toolbox.
