With a GVM of 1750kgs it is illegal to tow it with a Fortuner, as the max tow load on the Tuna is 1500kgs as per Toyota and the tow bar manufacturer...

Is there a list of vehicles that will be able to legally tow any caravan with a GVM of 1750kg and above?

Hi all the defenders and all the discoveries and all the Range Rover Sports and big bodies are licensed to pull 3500kgs

Miss Bitchie and other appliances like the Frotuna can't even pull the skin off a rice pudding.

Kurt we went through to Reitz about 3 weeks ago to collect the van in the rain, also camped that Saturday in the rain.
Everything on the Kakevaan was done as promised and better.
Our van has a view differences from the production one, but the ease of set up and time to do the setup still blows my mind.
You can basically camp with the Rally canopy within 10 minutes, it may take a bit longer if you pop a cold one.
But if you setup the big tent it will take a lot longer as that bastard is huge.
