Hi Guys
New here.. I've had a search around by can't find any info to my exact question.
So.. here is my situation:
I would like to buy a commodore to tow a 1 ton boat.
I really don't want to get anything older than a VR - and I don't want to purchase a 4WD..
On a decent boat ramp would I have issues with a single legger VR or VS? These cars seem very affordable and have good towing capabilities but i'm skeptical about the traction.
I was thinking I might have problems on the boat ramp, so thought I would look for a V8 which all have LSD diffs (+ hey, a V8 is always fun). Would the LSD give me enough traction to get up the ramp on low tide? The ramp is fairly good quality.
If anyone here has experience launching a similar size boat with their V6 single legger, or LSD/ V8 etc I'd appreciate any comments.
Cheers
Dave
