Best SUVs for freeway driving and occasional towing?

There are lots of SUVs to choose from, it's a very crowded market, which works in the favour of the buyer. The Territory of the vintage you are considering is a decent car, the diesel is economical and it would tow up to 2700 kg. Also consider the Toyota RAV4, Nissan X-Trail, Honda CR-V.

Used Ford Territory review: 2004-2015
Ford Territory is arguably the best vehicle ever designed by Ford Australia. Indeed some even say it may be the best automotive design in Australia bar none. Territory is based on the Ford Falcon and shares some of its mechanical components, particularly in the powertrain, but many parts are unique to the big wagon.

Best sporty SUV?

It sounds as if you want a sporty SUV and, with that budget, I’d be advising a late-model BMW X5.

Best used 7-seater under $15k?

The three cars you name all have merit, none has any major issue to be concerned about and all fit your needs, but you will have to shop around to find them within your age and budget limits.

Toyota Kluger for value

On seven-seaters, the Territory runs last, the Kluger is fine and reasonable value and the Audi is definitely the car to reward yourself, but the Q7 could get very expensive if anything goes wrong.

RWD Ford Territory maximum towing capacity

When fitted with the standard towing pack the rear-wheel drive Territory is rated to tow 1600 kg, but can be uprated to 2300 kg when fitted with Ford's heavy-duty towing pack. The all-wheel drive model is rated to tow 2700 kg when fitted with the heavy-duty towing pack. I wouldn't recommend towing above the rated maximum.

AM radio reception

Thanks. I would never have guessed that radio interference could be caused by the accumulation of dirt and dust on high voltage power lines.

Territory AM radio interference

AM radio isn't getting much attention from carmakers these days. It could be a shielding problem from the ignition, but more likely it's an antenna issue. I would consult a car radio specialist and see if they can provide a better antenna.
