What is the budget Tonz?

Have you considered ford escape, preferably 2l version?

ps, I'm heading to whyalla on Saturday so if you see a brown territory towing a 15ft jayco poptop, it's probably me.

Problem is their load length isn't great compared to any of the LWB med vans and the tow rating for us isn't high enough. The Toyota website states only the manual has a 1900kg tow rating, it's lower for the auto 1500kg. Still can't find on the spec sheet the distance between rear wheel arches or rear door opening width/height.

what credibility do you give to Google reviews of a car yard.
Found a really nice Forester, staff were helpful, not pushy.Yarf was jammed with vehicles. Ones I looked at all appeared to be previously owned by SA people.... but I am suspicious if they bought cars interstate, then used a staff member or friends name and 'sold' or 'traded' into dealer. is hat possible or legal.

If a used car comes from NSW I reckon there's a benefit there because they have some yearly roadworthy process where a car has to go in for some form of an inspection, you can't have too much of a ****box like you can in VIC and SA.
