Towing
What is the max towing weight of the 2009 Toyota RAV4 four cylinder?
What is the towing capacity of the 2000 Nissan Elgrand?
We bought a 2013 Holden Colorado 7 three years ago to pull a van, but due to health issues we weren’t able to go until July this year. When towing up a hill the temp gauge went to a fraction over half and we had slow to 70 km/h on each hill. The oil was just under three quarters when we got home after driving to and from Tweed Heads. Our dealer said this is ok, adding that if it was a problem a warning light would come have on and bells would have rung. We have done 105,000 km. We have had no trouble when not towing, but will this be a problem for future towing? If so what can be done?
Would the new 2018 Volvo XC60 hybrid be suitable to tow a caravan weighing approx. 1800 kg, or would it be better with the D5 diesel?
I recently purchased a 2015 Mark 1 Ford Ranger dual-cab, fitted with a genuine Ford tow bar. The tow bar in question has 20 mm play overall up and down at the ball and 10 mm side movement. I went to a 4WD store and they rang another tow bar company; their advice was to sleeve it due to the amount of movement. They also suggested I go to Ford as it may be a warranty claim given the amount of play. Anyway, some young service guys looked at it, and said it was acceptable. I asked for the name of the manufacturer, so I could ask them for the allowable tolerances of play as I did not feel safe having my caravan bouncing around on the back of the car. I was told they have no idea who makes them, nor do they know what the tolerances are. They were not very forthcoming with any information. I voiced my concern over the stress on the pin. Have other Ford owners complained of the same thing?
What is the towing capacity for the 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe SX diesel 4x4?
After many months deciding on a 4WD to tow our 1.7-tonne caravan around Australia in the coming years I have finally whittled it down to either a Mitsubishi Pajero or an Isuzu D-MAX King-cab with aluminium tray. I like the latter, but I have heard from a reliable source that in both South Australia and Northern Territory mining companies, there have been reports of chassis cracking due to the harsh corrugated roads and conditions. Have you heard of anything from your sources?
