what do you plan on using as a tow car ? we have a wake boat that weighs almost 2 ton and i tow it with an SV6 commodore and it tows it ok but struggles up hills a bit and im not sure the transmission would be up to towing all day as the temp gauge sits higher than normal and im sure its because the trans is getting hot . anyway im not trying to put you off but if you plan on sleeping close to your torrie i would be driving it at least one way if you have the time . we took our HQ coupe from adelaide to cairns in the early 90s and had a great time but at the time it wasnt in concourse condition and not worth anywhere near what it is now but still attracted plenty of attention along the way .
