Re: Import Pick Up comparison

Well, it did drive reasonably well, though I didn't manage to get one to my test "track". The main problem was my shins/knees hitting the cowl under the dash but as I had said earlier, 2250kgs is a pretty puny towing capacity for a commercial ute.

Even more ordinary is the Value X of 2785kgs leaving 535kgs for additional cargo and people. Therefore, whilst towing the Hilux' maximum towing capacity, the Rodeo can still pull an additional first generation MX-5, 2 pie scoffing tradies and a full esky of heavies
