Family Tow CarG'Day Richard,
I think the Holden Commodore does a good job, if you get an automatic, get an
oil cooler fitted to the transmission, and dont tow in overdrive, the V6 engine
gives good performance, and pretty good economy, even towing gliders, (this is
not comments for cash, I am not in any way associated with GMH ).....
regards JR

Hi,
We are new to Oz and are about to purchase a family car - which will need a
tow bar suitable to tow a single seat glider trailer (glider yet to be
purchased).
Any recommendations for good tow vehicles and gotchas to be aware of?
What weight does the car need to be able to tow all up for a single seater +
trailer?
What down force on the ball hitch should it be capable of taking?
We don't necessarily want to buy a massive vehicle as it will for the most
part be a family run around. We might purchase a large 4WD at later date to tow
a caravan or other larger trailers.
I have read with interest the looooong trailer debate so information from
there does not need to be reprised.
Thanks for any help,
Regards Richard
