Hey mate, welcome to the fun house.

I have a 08 3.2 Auto that I use to tow a 2 tonne windsor Rapid.
Have probably clocked up near 10,000kms now on the combo- just added a power chip but yet to test with towing.

Heading to Fraser with the van at Easter so was looking for all the power I can get.

Will post up all about the trip when we return- cannot wait.

With the van in tow adds about 5l/100kms, but I don't spare the KW sitting on corrected 100km/h. I aslo have larger than standard tyres and a lift and accessories.

Thanks for the replies
I did a short trip to Dongara for the first run at 100km/h I was getting 20l/100km I didnt think it was too good but after talking to landcruser owners its not too bad.
Next run I do I will run a bit slower and see how it goes. I did get knocked around a fair bit with the wind is this normal?

WA winds are generally more constant than anywhere else in Aus.. rather than the occassional gusts.
