I have pondering a possible replacement for my faithful old 4.2efi GQ Patrol so I did a bit of a search on the Net & came up with this interesting site.

We are getting back on the road but undecided which way to go. Have you any experience towing a van with the new Pajero sport? We can buy new for about same price as second hand Prado so worth a thought. We are planning to tow about 2.5 tonne.

I get it, UHF can be useful in many circumstances. However, I'm 67yo and the older I get the more simple I prefer my life to be. The less distractions, the less tools, gadgets, items to charge and I've found I'm a lot happier. Even my 5m caravan has been set up to minimalise packing up and setting up times...
