Tow vehicle that's not a PPV for 1.5M...

**Vodka** · October 23rd, 2023 10:56 PM

suppose you need to tow a small atv that's around 300kg. plus 100kg for the trailer.

suppose we exclude pickup platform vehicles and cap the budget at 1.5M so that excludes subarus

exclude CVT coz towing will kill the cvt

(unless it's a subaru)

what options are we left with???

A good used v6 120. Uber reliable....Plus, you get back a chunk of change to spend on petrol.[emoji4]

Kahit bigbody corolla with manual tranny kaya yan kahit unbraked pa yung trailer. kung may preno yung trailer instant madoble capacity.

kahit anung bagong oto siguro ngayon with at least 140NM of torque tas manual tranny kaya yan.

forgot to add... "automatic" dapat

m/t options are plentiful. even a cheap toyota liteace panel could already hold 700+kg INSIDE the car, could definitely tow a lot more

I think the Jimny can handle your requirement

yes bnew dapat. yeah jimny could do it w/ the 1.3 ton capacity which is kinda crazy coz 1.3 is already heavier than the car itself

what other options do we have?

Innova E sana kaso PPV. Puwede din Rush, Xpander, Territory, Stonic, Tuscon gas. Kaso di yata malagayan tow hook ang unibody?

i'd google, "what is a good tow vehicle?", see the specs, and see what's available locally, that suits my fancy.

**ice15** · October 24th, 2023 02:36 PM

hmmm. requirements.

NOT pick-up based
Automatic (not CVT)
1.5M budget
Brand New

I was initially looking at Tata and Mahindra... but their models are mostly manual

i googled xpander towing capacity. quite a few south african sites are quoting 550kg! interesting. meron din talagang advantage ang 4spd a/t

pwede kabitan ang unibody. you just need some thick metal inserts INSIDE the frame rail so you don't rip the hole out. these "rails" are made from thin stamped steel
