PAULL
What about a toyota hilux dual cab in the 3.0 litre turbo diesel, is it gutsy enough to tow a 17 foot caravan, specs from the toyota homepage qoute 85 kw and 280nm or thereabouts torque, isn't this a bit light on for a diesel where I've got heaps of heavy work to do. Full on four wheel driving ability needed too - any comments please

Just to correct your figures there, paul - 85 kw and 315 nm (not 280).
Has heaps of guts for me, particularly low down torque for off roading - but I haven't towed anything as heavy as a 17 foot caravan.
My car in standard trim weighs in at 2430 kg, and I regularly tow a ski boat and trailer with no noticeable effect (except for fuel economy, naturally)]
