Re: Tow vehicle recommendations
This idea might not suit your purposes, but you could buy a 100/105 series landcruiser with either the unleaded 6 cylinder or v8 for around $10,000. These will both tow 3500kg braked, then spend the other $10,000 on a small, comfortable, cheap to run car. Then you can have the best of both worlds.
Re: Tow vehicle recommendations
Just re did the calculations. I believe 3000kg braked is enough. Does this open up the options a lot more?

Re: Tow vehicle recommendations
second hand diesels need to have a good inspection prior. Specially injectors and DPF ..
I would like to update my tow vehicle to a diesel at some stage too. Im going to hate it but it's going to be a but better on the wallet if I tow regularly..
