The wife has told me that she will not under any circumstances take any more trips with the caravan when it is being towed with my faithful 90 forerunner,
The old girl has 400,00kms on it but runs as if it is new (Car not the wife)
The question is, she has newish aurion which I can spend about $1200 on to get fitted a towbar and brake controller, has anyone towed with this vehicle,
Would be pulling a Goldstream camper all up weight about 1400kgs.
Costs so much for the towbar because I need the 50mm hitch for the weight distrubition kit that I already have.
Cannot and would not trade up from the old forerunner, part of the family and gets me to
places without the fear of some electro gizmo breaking down
Anyhelp out there

Sorry, can't help with the Aurion, but have dragged a double horse float with 2 big lumps of dogmeat grossing around 1700kg with an auto
Avalon 3 litre V6 with no dramas, and no unexpected loss in economy.
With the Aurion being larger engine size, and more killer wasps, I can't see a problem as far as weight and stability goes, but it probably relates to driving style, loading and road quality.
Cheers
