VS ute series 2 towing capacity?

[patskies]

Does anyone know the towing capacity of a VS series 2 ute (V6 manual)..

Basically been asked to tow a horse float with 2 horses on a 5 hour trip to try and get away from the cyclone.

cheers

hi mate, it depends on the towing kit that it has but usually its only about 1300kg. it says in the owners manual

but in your situation, just do it.

hmmm.. 5 hours is a long time when ur towing 400+kgs over ur limit.. Got to way up now if I want to risk snapping my car in half or letting my mrs' horses blow away. easy choise haha

If you have the HD reinforced tow pack you will be fine for a one off! its a problem when you regularly tow over the limit, it stretches and flexes the rear of the chassis.
