I'd like to pick your brains
this is all hypothetical but i want to see what people think would best fit the bill as i have been pondering it myself and i keep coming back the same conclusion, so i would love to be provoked into looking outside my usual square, if you get my drift.
The knowns:
Budget $20K
Has to cope with towing a 4m van
crewed by 2 adults and a couple of small dogs
The quest:
a touring rig
mainly onroad but able to cope with light offroad when needed
what would you think is the ideal rig to fit the bill ?

If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

SubscriberWhat he said! We have the D1 & while good at what we want, the extra room in the back of a D2 or Paj is a big plus.
