Cheers all the best with the build
I currently tow an enclosed trailer with a VE sports wagon SS & it averaged 17.5 l/100 last trip to the nationals. Its not really the fuel economy but a relatively inexpensive tow vehicle that can tow 3 ton & has plenty of grunt. The diesel just doesn't have the power when u put the weight on the back.
