Pretty sure 1500kg is either bang on the limit or above the limit for a Subaru Legacy. From memory they were rated for about 1300-1400 braked. I know the VE Holden utes are only 1600kg :lol:

i understand this may not be the ideal car but an example of what you can get....
Toyota 2jz reliability and towability with common altezza parts and overall good value for money??

From memory the Altezza can't tow shit legally, think the 4WD was rated even lower?

Commodores were never separate chassis in the utes from memory? Maybe half chassis at most?
