V6 into a Rodeo 2x2

I can almost guarrantee that a 3.2 will cost you more money than a half reasonable V6 2wd ute will!

I don't reckon you will see any improvement in fuel consumption, towing a heavy trailer, because the V6 is very 'revvy' you don't get much torque down low!

Great motor, will last forever, great power, etc....but is it worth it?

Don't think it will be!

3.8V6!.........now you're talking!!
I reckon you couldn't go wrong with this as a tow vehicle!
But you will need to change the gearing(higher ratios/lower engine revs) to get any advantage.......but it will pull like a V8. Probably cost a similar amount to a 3.2, cosidering the conversion gear needed, etc.......

It could be done, ANYTHING can be done if you have enough $ to waste. Most engine conversion done by shops on most cars are round $7k-9k inc engineers.

my 1990 Rodeo 2wd had over 300k klms on it when sold, was still running strong. its owned by a bacon from cronulla now.. Them klms were done towing race bikes on the tray and in a trailer. Never had an issue, but if your doing the Jims mowing gig, then yea ex neighbour does it in a VN commodore, and is also lookin at the dual cab ute.

I agree with the other comment, would be better off going with a later model with low klms

My mate here at work has the old 2.6 dual cab even in auto has got 417,00 klms and still going has had the head done about 2 years ago.Wont get rid of it his wife wants a new one but said will keep driving it till it shi@s its self then will get another one in V6. It not worth anything any way with the klms on it any way.As said do your self a favour and either keep it or sell and get the model you want with the V6 save a lot of head aches. Regards Vitara
