Tow vehicle buying tips – carsales.com.au

AutoExec Summary
Choosing the right tow vehicle is tough, but important. Look for a long wheelbase and short rear overhang for stability. A live rear axle and strong towing capacity are crucial. Make sure the vehicle can handle at least 10% of its towing capacity as towball mass. Consider diesel for better torque and fuel efficiency. Be realistic about the vehicle’s maximum towing capacity and don’t overload it. Check the towbar’s towing maximum if buying used. Consider a separate chassis for strength. Remember, a heavier vehicle will tow better. And always check the vehicle’s tech specs before buying.
