G'day & Welcome Jason.

Nice camper, what are you doing about a proper tug?

Mate I have had a couple of new Prado's a 2003 & 2005 TD so I am thinking another one of these will be the go. I don't know if I will buy new this time though as I cant get my head around the look (or price) of the new one. I will go for a 2007 or 2008 diesel D4D. It will do the family duties well also.

I am not too worried about it at the moment as we have no rough stuff planned just plenty of easily accessable camping. The Adventra would drag the Prado and the trailer up the freeway backwards no problems. It is an awesome tow vehicle for the on road stuff. Much more comfortable than a Landcruiser or a Prado (have owned various models of each) and has considerably more room in it, for both gear and passengers. I was worried about the fuel economy but even this was a suprise using 16lt per 100k towing a 1.5t KK. It sits on a 100k's @ 1850 revs and does it very easily. It uses over 20lt per 100k's around town in traffic towing nothing LOL.

Regards

You may find the Adventra will get you nearly all the places you might want to go..... barring places like the high country ( but only the hard bits )

Apart from the odd trail here or there, the hardest bit I've done yet would be dragging the KK along ( and over ) Stockton beach..
