- VU S pack ute
Hey,
I have a 2002 Vu ute with a v6 and Auto in it. I have revently gotten into hillclimbing and want to use my ute to tow around my Alfa. The Alfa weighs 1000kg and the trailer im looking at weighs 400kg. I have got my eyes on a 1600kg towbar for it and was wondering what these are like to tow with. Ive heard the Autos arent always up to it but the way i see it is if its only towing 1400kg on a 1600kg rating it should be ok shouldnt it?. Im going to put a a tranny cooler on it and maybe beef up the springs for good measure. Do yu guys think its up to it and has anyone had any experieces towing with these autos?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Luke
