Need help choosing a car. Cross posted into cars as well
Need a car that primarily has the capacity to tow 2 tonnes, as it’s going to be used to tow a 1.6T car + dual axel trailer + loaded with sundries ect for Melbourne and Sydney and inbetween to take a car to carshows. Expect to be towing 2 weekends a month.
Is also going to be the only everyday use car so needs to get into the underground/multistory carparks just fine.
My building is a 1.7m height limit on the parking garage due to using stacking carlifts. So anything that is a classic 4WD is most likely out.
Not too concerned about make/model but I don’t want to just go with a SUV or a dualcab ute (personal choice, getting up into those raised cars is actually harder for wheelchair access). Things like the old outbacks I’ve seen put into the SUV category on carsales but i wouldnt consider them a SUV as the seats are at normal car height.
What’s out there that I might have missed on the second hand market around the 20-25k that is going to be a balance of city runaround and towing??
Top contender right now is the Golf wagon alltrack.
Old Falcons could tow up to 2300kg with a braked trailer. Commodore is up to 2100kg
Of course, they don’t make them anymore, but you could pick up one of the later models in that price range.
