Default Re: new tow car ideas?

I've been thinking about a very similar search to you, except I want a vehicle that has at least 3 litres in capacity (anything less than that is not compatible with towing over 2000kg IMHO), no older than 2013 (my current Falcon ute age), less than 100k kms on the odometer and up to $20k.

Here's the search on carsales. https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/?q=...ange(2000..).)

A few out of the box options (may not suit all of your criteria tho):

Nissan Pathfinder. Just not sure on the longevity of the CVT in these.

Subaru Tribeca. Don't know much about them but Subaru tends to have a good rep.

Mazda CX-9. Not sure how well this performs as a tow rig tho.

Jeep Grand Cherokee. Running the Jeep gauntlet tho.

Volvo XC90. Not sure about servicing costs and parts availability.

Have a play with the filters to input your preferences and see what pops up.

Play around with the filters to suit your needs

Hmmm, link doesn't work, seems to be because it has brackets in it. Here it is in plain text. You'll need to add www. to it.

carsales.com.au/cars/?q=(And.Year.range(2013..)._.Price.range(..20000). _.Odometer.range(..100000)._.FuelType.Petrol._.Bod yStyle.SUV._.TowingBrakes.range(2000..)._.EngineSi ze.range(3000..).)


I FIXED THE LINK - IT NOW WORKS
