So what speed does everyone tow at ?
On our recent trip along Princes Highway from Melbourne to Narooma pulling our 17.56.1 we would cruise on the flat stuff at 95 to 100 kmh (best for economy), but when we hit the hilly stuff (and some big steep long hills at that) I ended up going quicker, having a run-up at the hills and the the Kluger would hold at 95 - 100 kmh in third (about 4000 rpm).
If I went slower we would end up in second and each hill would take infinitely longer (and I thought be using considerably more fuel).
I appreciate that everyones set ups are different, diesel / petrol etc, but there are many members here with similar car / van combos and thought might be some worthwhile responses.
