Towing with a Y62

[fillmc]

Ok - here is the state of play on the new Patrol towing capability
Nissan repeat that the vehicle is within specifications ???? What does that mean?- it was designed to drop 3+" when 280kg is put on the tow bar? - with of course a corresponding rise at the front to the extent steering is compromised? "within specification" come now Nissan
Anyway with car fridge, toolbox and sundry other necessities the car ( without van) sat a few centimetres low at the rear until ARB fitted their OME 200kg springs. Again without the van this realised an 84cm lift at the rear. With the van this produced a very level ride to the extent the ride leveller bars are redundant
Towing at 100km/hr and more is now comfortable and our trip will proceed in safety and comfort. BUT when I get home and unhitch the van and unload the car I am not sure what all to expect of the vehicle - that can however wait until then.
Have Nissan reimbursed the $90 for the weigh bridge certs - NO
Have Nissan offered to pay for the OME springs -$491 - NO
Has anyone from Nissan customer service contacted me - NO
Damn poor show Nissan but understand I have now had 23 enquiries about this vehicle from travellers and grey nomads - and expect that number to increase significantly over the next 5-6months travelling. What message do you think I will be carrying Mr Nissan? The vehicle performs to specifications which are to drop 3+ inches with 280kg on the ball , of course.
Buyer beware - this is not the ideal towing tug you will be lead to believe it is by all the written info and the spiel you will get from the salespeople. Basically a pack of lies.
Thanks for reading the rant and the help along the way (thanks Mudrunner) -- next stage Consumer Affairs. Cheers Phil
