Our Tow Tug<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n

Given our decision to travel in a 22\u00bd’ Supreme Executive<\/a> semi-off road caravan our choice of tow vehicle was narrowed down to the handful of vehicles that are rated for 3.5 tonnes. It was a no brainer that we opted straight for the Toyota Landcruiser 200 series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We took delivery of our Landcruiser on 18th July 2019, which gives us a year to bed it in and get everything sorted before we take on the Grand Tour. Since we’ll be going everywhere we can in Australia we have added quite a few options to our vehicle with a couple more coming before we set off in 2020. The final options will add approximately 25% to the purchase price.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The full specs for our Landcruiser are:
