Towing

Recommended Posts

Anyone have experience with towing a med size caravan with a mid 90's Tarago?

I am about to puchase a 16 foot poptop (800-1200kg) and would love to know if anyone else has tried towing with a similar combination?

Cheers

Ren

Hi Wallrus.

I've been towing my Jayco pop-top van (about 1000kg fully packed) for several years with my 1992 Tarago. Only problem I ever had was on the first trip where I killed the diff. Had it replaced with a Hilux diff centre and it hasn't missed a beat since. Most recent trip to Vic & NSW from SA this christmas was still averaging about 650kn to a tank with wife + 3 kids and so much crap in the car that I couldn't see out the back. :)

Hi mate

I am just wondering how the h#ll you get 650 to a tank, I`m only getting 450 to 500 in my missus`s 92 torago (Auto)

Hi Tick.

I don't know, I thought that was normal till i started reading these posts. When we go to Melbourne from Adelaide (Gawler) I normally get about 800 - 900 km to a tank on 98ron unleaded. *without the van of co****. We fill up in the northern suburbs of Adelaide and depending on the weather & wind I can normally get into Mill Park with a sniff of juice left.

I use the cruise control, and have the car serviced regularly.

Mind you I drive like an old woman :P
