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.
