good towing vehicles?

[fangsport]

agree with strx7 about bighorn, rubbish engines and they seem to let go without any warning, perhaps newer models are better? i dont know but our one was rubbish, required complete rebuild

97/98 model bighorns and wizards seem to be the lastest lot wanting engines. Not as bad as the 4M40 in the mitsi challengers. I have supplied engines for ones as late as 2004 build dates.

is the issue with the failure of turbo diesil engines purely a cooling issue created by neglect?
all the 2LT, 1KZT, 4JB1, etc i have had to replace, also had blocked radiators and blocked coolant lines to the turbo.
not sure if it is fair to blame an engine, blame the previous owners

perhaps bighorn/wizard owners are stupider to start with...............?

(could explain why they own said vehicle in the first place)

I tow my car trailer with my Hiace. 1KZ-TE Super Custom.

And being a van - heaps of room for stuff in the back, and parts are cheap, not that you'll ever need them cause Hiaces do heaps of kms no problem

I use my Mazda 6 for towing the Corolla, perfectly adequate and is still a nice, comfortable, economical car to drive day-to-day. Just have to be careful not to try taking off up a gravel hill with the car behind

Having said that my mate's Patrol with a big turbo on it is the best thing by far I have towed with it is the only vehicle I have driven that accelerated up the Brynderwyns with car and trailer behind instead of slowing down. Is also good stability-wise, you can't feel the trailer behind at all.
