for towing a 1.8t CT in the sand?

Any help appreciated.

That's a hard call. I did hear recently that a Porsche Cayenne was drowned on an island so clearly the 4WD system in question, not sure the Suzuki Vitara has enough grunt, it might need a chip and new exhaust system, so I guess that only leaves the V6 TD Navara;D

I am going to vote for the Grand Vitara.
Only cause no one else will.
Or perhaps a Lada as an alternate option.

Edit... Also depends on the ball weight.
If they have to wait long. It's no good.

Perhaps look at a train. They have no choice but to stay on track.
Also will have the grunt to tow your 1.8t camper.
And ball weight shouldn't be an issue.

You sure?
I thought it was about tyre pressure when towing a 1.8t camper on the sand with locomotive.

well I'm out, I thought it was going to be how many metre's of 6bs

Clouty · « **Reply #9 on:** July 01, 2015, 07:42:53 PM »

ill say a Dmax..

There so many people with them that's it really easy to get spare parts.. And the best thing I've found is that they don't come aftermaket recovery points..

But a close second would be an xtrail.. I'm sorry taking it off track

Maybe use the 6B&S with some cable ties.

Is the X trail on a train?

Just talking to my neighbour yesterday about a Cayenne in his workshop.....the owner had tried to put it in low range....succeeded but it wouldn't come out.....lesson, if you own a Cayenne, use the 4wd system often or not at all..

So, my choice is the dmax..

Do Porsche Cayenne's have recovery points?

Of coarse Fathom..

With camper in tow.

DMAX is the only choice

Suzukis are for girls

Porsches are for poseurs

tk421 · « **Reply #20 on:** July 01, 2015, 07:57:25 PM »

On paper I'd say the Porka. But is the extra price worth it?

Base model Porsche Cayenne Diesel - max torque 580Nm. D-Maz LSU Crew Cab = 380 Nm
Porka=193KW / DMAX= 130KW
Fuel Capacity: Porka=100L / DMAX = 76
Porka has a lower Gross weight by about 100kg (Payload of about 700kg) / DMAX payload of 1000kg
If you get a model with air suspension the Porka's ground clearance is 271mm vs DMAX 235mm. Non air suspension is 217mm.

No idea about ball weights though

Anybody remember the bloke a few years ago arguing the merits of the Cayenne's off road ability vs. a modded cruiser or Troll on 4WDA?

Pretty sure he would vote for the Porsche.
