Thread: Towing with a 3.5 and ZF

Noooooo I know it is tempting but don't tow in 5th with the LT85. The later R380's are actually stronger in 5th gear than the Sanata is

If you want to tow at 100+ km/h, fit 33's and a 1:1 TF case High range and use 4th.



Why have a V8?????

33s going back on soon The LT85 is the worst part of the 120 Has had multi roller bearings fitted (Took some machining) and out put X drilled though. You right about 5th. The 4BD1 will eat the gear box if 5th used hard

Why a V8..... Smooth wide torque curve, Doesn't eat gear boxes and Doesn't sound like a billy goat farting in a jam tin

Can't have it both ways

My wife and I have plans to find an LSE and 4BDI it. But I must finish all my other projects 1st. Hang on I can't...... Just counted my days. I'm going to have to let some of them go

I know you'll like to see a 20 yr old 3.5 in pain again
The poor old rangie is on tow duty again Problem is we need the 5 seats so the 120 is out this time.

This time my wife is on her own Helping out a friend out. Told her to stick it in third other than going down steep hills Then will need 2nd to hold it




This thing needs a repower very soon
