Hi All, This is my first post here and hope it finds everyone well. I am looking at the new Rexton as a tug but can't find any real info on how it handles Oz conditions towing. Stated towing capacity is 3500 kgs which sounds good in theory. Does anybody here have one and do you have any tips. Thanks
