Towing

 I have a 2016 Kia Cerato sedan with a towbar. I want to purchase another Kia Cerato sedan (GT Cerato), but after waiting nearly 10 months the dealer keeps telling me a towbar is still being developed? When will a towbar be available? Do you think it will be suitable for a GT model?

We are a family of four looking to tow a full-size caravan (3000 kg+) on a trip around Australia. We would only like to pay a maximum of $40,000. I am 6 foot 4 inches so don't fit in many 4WDs. Can you please advise what car would be the best option for both purchasing and spare parts if things go wrong along the way?

 I’m looking to upgrade my car to something that will sometimes tow a camper trailer what would be the best car?

We are a retired couple looking at buying a vehicle with a towing capacity of 2500 kg upwards. There are only two of us, but we may take the grandkids at times. We like the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport, but it's pretty big for two people although certainly the cheapest we've see. Can you suggest any other vehicle that would suit our requirements?

I have a heavy ball weight caravan (420 kg) at tare: tare 2830 kg, ATM 3320 kg, GTM 2900 kg, tri-axle chassis 3500 kg total, axle group rating 3200 kg. I am looking at buying a Ford 5.4-litre petrol F250 so I can legally tow it. Is it legal to tow with a 3500 kg rated tow vehicle with a 4500 kg rated tow bar fitted, or do I need to go to the 7.3-litre diesel 4500 kg rated F250 with 4500 kg tow bar, or do you have another suggestion as to which is the best vehicle to tow this van with?

May I ask your advice about choosing a car to tow a van ("Eco Tourer" probably - up to 2000 kg) for the grey nomad round-Aussie trip, for starters. We have driven and like the Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4WD, 3.0 turbo diesel. We have test driven the Toyota Prado 2.8 turbo diesel and found it lacking power – or acceleration at least. Our questions are: are the Jeeps reliable? At $60,000-ish, they're at the top of our price range, and is there another car you'd recommend – for strength, reliability and economy mainly.
