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.

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.
