RTV Falcons are available with V8s but Im not sure if the V8a can be converted to LPG. What about a standard 2WD Commodore ute or Crewman plus the extra $500 or so to convert the diff to an electric locker?

Hi Guys.

I still dont think you can legally tow 2500 kg unless your tow vehicle weighs 2500 kg minimum. All Holdens & Falcons weigh less than 2000 kg.

If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0

I thought that the newish national laws state that the trailer must not weigh more than 1.5 times the towing vehicle or exceed the towing vehicle or it's towbars capacity whichever is the lower of the three.

I know that in NSW it used to be the lowe

Here are the RTA rules:

http://www.rta.nsw.gov.a...5_10_towingtrailers.pdf

Basically the lesser of:

Rated capacity or towbar/ball;
Max towing capacity of vehicle;
Maximum carrying capacity of trailer;
Maximum rated car

If we all had the same (good) taste, who would buy all the Fords?
