Help/advice please!!

I have just purchased a 2021 Kakadu which has bull bar/extra battery and now have my kids car seat, roof racks on board too.

took it over the tip scales and it came in at 2,680kg with myself, missus and our son…which is as many people as we plan to carry..

BUT fuel tank was not full

AND it’s the model with 150l tank so 150kg capacity/potential.

we are picking up a newly ordered caravan with 2,450kg tare/ 3,000kg max which I therefore assume will add a 245kg-300kg tow ball weight to our Kakadu’s gvm…is this correct? As if so we would be well over with a full tank of fuel and then surely we are un-insurable even if we don’t fill the fuel tank?

looking for advice before i ditch the Kakadu for a Landcruiser or Defender!

I could remove the bull bar ($3,000) and remove the 3rd row of seats ($300) to come up with an other 75kg or so but doesn’t seem worth it….any advice/thoughts?

thanks

      Brake issues with 2024 Corolla Cross Hybrid

      Initially I thought ABS or Traction Control intervening as a result of loss of traction or grip but you said normal slow down so now I'm unsure. Perhaps a video would help us assist ? I have heard of some recall issues with the Corolla Cross & operational anomalies with the Toyota "SafeTSense" system in general, the later may be what you're experiencing & what Toyota would class as a "normal characteristic" of the car 😉

      Reversing Camera Screen with Bluetooth Android conectivity

      Hi I just bought a 2004 Toyota Avalon Grande 138k on the clock and with most of the genuine accessories i.e Spoiler and Satellite Navigation Stereo Head Unit, I want to keep the the Genuine Head Unit and was wanting to put either a separate reversing camera with dash cam and screen on the Dash Board somehow, or is there a Head Unit that fits that has all the modern connectivity features such as Reversing Camera Stereo, Bluetooth connectivity. Any suggestion or advice will be much appreciated, thanks in advance.

      How much is a Toyota hilux grinner 1990 2xd worth

      No way in hell that a 1990 Grinner (which is the absolute basest of base models) is worth $50k, unless we're talking pesos. $5k maybe.

It is 27k aus $ (NSW is the market I’m buying in) It is a 75 series 1997 with 250 000km has been well looked after, has some minor rust, Will that be a hard fix as I’d like to get a new paint job. It has had quite a lot of work done the inside is done up and it is ready to go off road. Do you think it is a worthy purchase? Cheers
