We have a base station and are currently towing it with a pathfinder. On the open road the pathfinder is fine, but it struggles with take off. We are heading of on a long trip shortly and are seriously considering purchasing a 100 series landcruiser. I was wondering if anyone out there with a base station can advise there experience toeing this van and the vehicle they are using.

hi willharry7
is a basestation one of those vans that where made to carry a workshop and motorbikes in as
well as living quarters
you could put a chip in the pathfinder to boost the power it would be cheaper than buying a L/Crsr

Hi Mazcan
Correct, the basestation has a garage at the back (with bunks for the kids - so doubles up as a bedroom for them) and living quarters at the front. We have the 22 ft off road version
The main problem with the pathfinder is when you take off on a
hill. The PF is manual and we have been advised that automatic would be better (the PF came before the BS). The trouble with other autos (e.g nissan) is that the towing capability drops from 3 tonne to 2.5 where as the landcruiser stays at 3.5
