Help! I have a 05 Toyota Hilux turbo deisel.I am wanting to buy a new caravan with toilet/shower with off or dirt road ability, but it seems that many caravans are already close to 2tonne without adding water and extra weight and the hilux only has towing capacity of 2250kg.Yet I have seen many hilux on the road towing large vans.Is this legal/advisable or how do we get around this problem.I really was hoping to keep the hilux instead of spending all over again purchasing a larger vehicle.[Many tell me buy a landcruiser or patrol]but i have had the hilux since new unaware of the low tow capacity,but own it now.I would have rather used the extra monies to up the abilities of the hilux,suspension,dual batteries etc.
what does everyone think??
