I tow up to 4500kg with it (there is other rules that allow this) as
mine has the supa singles & are a bigger diameter it is a dog in the hills @10 ton fully loaded with max trailer & its higher geared due to the larger wheels, it’s a lot better with the std wheels but rougher to ride in etc.
But in general this all depends on how much weight you load on the truck & expect to tow @ 6.5ton truck & a tow of 3 ton it’s not too bad if you no Mount Owsley (
Wollongong area) it will hold 60klms to the top but if you get caught be hide someone you will be down thru the gears & come up at 40klms (Hense the sign on the back, I may be slow but I’m in front of you) If I have the truck at 5ton & trailer at 2.85 ton I can set cruise control (98klms) out of
Sydney (Hume hwy) & it will only kick out twice to Melb
My truck has a lot done to it & is far from Std & is treated like a big landcrusier, its used for work & play & suits what I use it for, has a large slide on motor
home on the back & some trips tows the toys, but it’s a truck cab over & rides like one,
mine has different
suspension etc., It’s been around oz.,
cape York, Simpson etc. & remember they HATE driving on sand it will do it but it’s not as enjoyable as in your cruiser or Patrol & when you bog it everything works harder, the truck, winch, straps, max tracks, shovels & the misses & you.
