Hi All,
I've just bitten the bullet and traded my Freelander for a Landcruiser. With the Toyota spec it should be an awesome towcar and I can't wait to try it out.
I need to get some advice from other Landcruiser owners, I've tried the salesman but you get the impression that they are just telling you what they think, not what they know!
1. To couple up the ALCO 2004 to the Freelander I had to fit an extension block between the towball and the towbar. Will I have to do the same with the Landcruiser or is there some other technique involved?
2. The boot area of the Landcruiser is completely open so I am concerned about security. Has anyone fitted a screen type rear parcel shelf? I am told that they are a bit of a pig to install.
3. What sort of mpg can I expect towing a van of about 1550kg?
I just hope I can get this to post - I've been trying since Sunday. I cant think how many times I've typed this out just to have it disappear so I'm trying to paste it from word this time.
