fatz Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 yea 500-550 nm for the 3 litre tdi depending on year model 700+ for the 4.2 tt tdi i considered a cayeen but like the tow rag the extra 13 inches( for the ladies), gives you alot more boot space which i need Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/272151-good-tow-cars/page/31/#findComment-6193330 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrd-hr30 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) I take it all back Matt - falcodores are clearly the best tow cars. god only knows what their engineers were thinking when they limited them to just 1600kg without load stabilisers and 80km/h at their max tow rating. While the big 4WDs get much higher tow ratings without any caveats. falcodores tow better, stop better and crash 4 times less often than 4WDs! lol Edited January 18, 2012 by hrd-hr30 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/272151-good-tow-cars/page/31/#findComment-6193568 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst we tow with an EF Falcon wagon I would never ever say it's a tower's delight. It crap but I don't want a bloody 4WD sitting in my driveway doing nothing. And NOW we have these rich bastards posting the great attributes of Euro 4WD's. You blokes are kidding yourselves,,,just can't wait till that control unit fails again,,,and why are you guy's using the 4 ring circus crap when clearly an X5 has been the euro daddy for over 10 years now. I very confused. Cheers Neil. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/272151-good-tow-cars/page/31/#findComment-6194174 Share on other sites More sharing options...

vesh Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I am looking at getting a new car and will need to be able to tow my R33 GTR, has anyone had any experience with the new Kia Sorento. I would be looking at getting the Platinum in diesel. 2000KG towing capacity There is also a G6E turbo coming up soon at work (ex company car) which has a heavy duty tow bar. 2300KG towing capacity Would any of these cars be good for towing??

ARTZ Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I've had my 2003 3L TD Navara for 6 months now, still living the dream, tow my 33 about once a month. Doesn't use much juice as long as I'm not in a hurry It's my daily too, get around 750kms from a tank, mostly because I drive like an old man though. thats not bad, my BT-50 gets 700km per 55Lt.thats when the light comes on, tank is 70Lt so there is easy another 100-150km in it Towed my 33 with my little BT-50 ute the otherday..I thought it might struggle a bit, but quite the opposite, it towed it like a champion...overtaking on the freeay and all.. Tows better than my mates Foulcan ever did. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/272151-good-tow-cars/page/31/#findComment-6300554 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 calling neil how is the falcoon old son time for a 4wd? nasty....at least the stages was close enough to rescue the trailer. funnily enough the stagea pulled the foulcan up catherine hill too. but i bet a foulcan motor is shitloads cheaper than a stagea, or even a q7 motor.
