Toyota Kluger Problems

CORRECT. No one has done the testing to certify the Kluger on LPG. You could ask a system importer or manufacturer to develop a system on your car, but they would need the car for six to eight weeks, which may be inconvenient.

IT'S a little-used function in Australia where we seldom have to drive in snowy or icy conditions. But in other countries where snow and ice are common it's very useful. Most often it switches the gearbox over so it starts off in second gear. It's harder to spin the wheels when you start in a higher gear.

BEFORE the advent of bigger front-wheel-drive family cars from Toyota and Mitsubishi in the '90s, we mostly used rear-wheel-drive cars for towing. They are still preferred for towing because the weight over the rear wheels is an advantage. The recent popularity of all-wheel-drive cars, including 4WDs, has further clouded the towing issue. If I were to go on the round-Australia dream drive, I would take an all-wheel-drive. Not for the towing, but to get to those out-of-the-way tourist destinations that I couldn't get to with a two-wheel-drive car.
