    Add a winch and the daughter has to stay home...
    Even with a full tank of fuel thats 140kg. Still under payload limit.
    I just dont see how its any different to the competition.
    Plus how many people actually have a van weighing 3.5 ton in australia. Most manufacturers here make them 2.8 ton or less so they have a greater appeal to people with different vehicles rather than just d4s, 200s, patrols, and a couple of others that can actually tow 3.5 ton

    You’re maths had you with 130kg left..
    So you’re now over and haven’t even filled the fridge up.

    There’s multiple people on this forum towing 3,500kg. Serious!

    And even if they’re towing 3.2t max van, once it hits 3.2t it’s done ATM is ATM etc..

    The LR is one that doesn’t lose GVM when adding 350kg to the towbar... so it comes out in front....

    Does a load leveling hitch reducing tow ball weight not address this??

    Nope.

    And Nissan expressly state they are not to be used on the Y62

    I looked at larger vans and quickly arrived at F250s, Dodge Rams and Iveco trucks.

    Below that any of the conventional 4wds are just the ticket...

    I was just about to say that. Once you start feeling pressured to reduce weight in the vehicle and possibly even put more load in the caravan, its all going pear shaped. The van really starts to dictate to the vehicle.

    Tombie understood that the ZF was better than GM But still in 5/6 speed guise prone to failure. Are the 8 speed versions better?
