Thread: D2 TD5 towing K Karavan??

    D2 TD5 towing K Karavan??

    To my surprise, the other day 'her indoors' came out with this gem ...... "Maybe we should look at getting a Kimberley Karavan". This came after absolutely no prior discussion!

    My question, therefore is .... has anybody tried towing a KK with a D2 TD5 manual & if so, what issues if any?. Thanks.

    Shaker, it will do it easily.

    If you have a good 'adjustable' hitch (height and angle) and have digital feedback about how hard your engine is working while towing up long inclines etc, you will have no problems.

    Cheers

    I notice that at least two of you who say its no problem have autos, not manuals as Shaker has; not sure of the others. I've a chipped manual D2a and once moving there's no stopping it. However, its still a bit of a black art getting moving on any sort of incline without slipping the clutch somewhat and I'd have thought a KK, which is best part of 2T loaded, would create a big life issue for the clutch. If it were me, I'd seriously think of changing the diff gear ratios (to 4.11) to make life easier.
