    Towing 2.5 tonne on Gq

    An employee at my work is about to buy his retirement caravan and asked if I could tow it back from Ballarat for him as he also just bought a Jeep but it's not ready for a couple of months.

    My van fully loaded is about 2 tonne with everything inside but this van is 2.5 tare.

    Getting up there for a GQ tow!

    Thoughts on towing at the max level for a GQ?

    There's also conflicting info on the GQ between 2.5 and 2.8 max which is confusing which one is correct?

    ... don't have to worry about underbody rust on a Jeep

    ... do have to paint your driveway "sump oil black" or buy a 200 litre drum of degreaser and a new Gurni each year
    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
