We have just completed a 9-month trip around this fantastic country of ours, loved it so much we plan to go again at the end of the year for a much longer period. Previously we towed a Trackabout Safari CT with a 2000 Pathfinder, this time we intend to do the trip with a caravan, herein lies our dilemna... what tow vehicle?
Kerb weight of the van (unloaded) is expected to be 2100kg. We have been tossing up between 4.2l TD LC or V8 Petrol LC (both Series 80).

Would appreciate any thoughts on which would be the most suitable taking into cosideration towing capacity, fuel economy (the Pathfinder drank more that I did!) and whether we choose manual or auto (did the auto gearbox on P/finder at Archers River NQ).

Feel free to add any other comments which you may consider relevant or steer us in the right direction for more info.

Cheers and thanks in advance.
