    Puma and Eagle Outback camper.

    We tow a Jayco Eagle Outback camper with ours (around 1.2t fully loaded). Ball load (Ive actually weighed it) fully loaded is 150kg. Puma hardly even moves when you hitch it up and towing is no problem with the back full of gear. You know its there of course but does it easily. Our last truck was a 3.4 V6 Prado with the same camper and the hills would still pull you up even with that engine plus fuel consumption went through the roof, although we had 159 litres to play with. The issue with the full van is more than weight - its pulling that massive frontal area into a 30kt headwind that will test any tow vehicle.

    Thanks for all the replies, looks like we will go ahead with it. Be slow perhaps on hills, but certainly capable.

    If you still have any doubts about towing ability have a look at this...
