What Toyota? I've been looking at Hi-Lux Surfs, 3.0 turbo diesel. The Range Rover I use to tow the boat has been a disaster. Boat is a Rinker v190 on a 4 ...
Hi Damon I have the V8 petrol Amazon. The car itself weighs in at 3240kg and the boat and SBS EL3000 together top at 2500kg. The V8 is thirsty but we also tow...
