i pull a trailer much of the time and even with a turbo you need patience.

that said i followed a tdi nissann yesterday hauling a similar trailer and the look on his face as i sailed past him on an uphill section of the di'agular hwy was priceless.

then i was stuck behind another further along the road for ages

then someone in a very very very nice grey hse rangey went sailing past me at full noise and after the jealousy subsided i was content in the knowledge that i was getting buckets load better economy than they were...

Not too bad on the flats but climbing hills and fully laidened is going to be a slow and noisy ride. I used to just turn the music up while the missus was desperately searching for the earmuffs.

Good fuel economy though.

The V8's are better but thirsty.

You kids need to invest in a Pyro and boost gauge and do some tweaking

Mine will happily tow 3.5T at more than highway speeds comfortably, on 35's

N/A it'll do it ok, just it'll take a loooooooooong time to wind up to speed

What Matt said.

On the highway, my 110 on 33's will sit on whatever speed I want irrespective of load or headwind. The only thing that changes is the EGT (and fuel consumption).

Inc's posts about the LT85 being too high geared make sense when combined with these posts.

mine will top out at $1.40 (private road of course, my taxes help maintain it) on either sized tyres.(till you get to the nearest hill)
