If my only choice of a tow vehicle was between the Colorado 7 and the Isuzu MU-X which should I pick and why? Would love to hear from owners of both re the good and bad points. The weight of my van is no more than 2 tonne fully loaded. Thanks in advance to all who respond.

Gday... At first glance, the Patrols towing specs look good: it has a 3500kg maximum towing capacity, of which a maximum 350kg can rest on the towball. The Patrol has a 750kg payload and so when loaded to its 3500kg maximum Gross Vehicle Mass, itll still be able to tow its full 3500kg capacity (so Gross C...
