MY FAVOURITE TOW VEHICLE
WORDS AND IMAGES : PHILIP LORD
WE ALL HAVE A FAVOURITE TOW VEHICLE , FOR DIFFERENT REASONS . A 2001 JEEP CHEROKEE CLASSIC HAS BEEN – SO FAR – MY PERSONAL FAVOURITE .
While I ’ ve spent the last 15 years tow-testing all manner of vehicles with a caravan behind , from a Fiat 500 ( yes , really ) to a RAM 2500 , I have also owned a few tow vehicles , from a Fiat Panda ( again , yes , really ) to a 2001 Range Rover Vogue .
While I always admire a good , strong 4WD tow vehicle no matter what it is , often they end up too big to be practical when towing . I have always loved towing with the Toyota Land Cruiser 200 Series , but can ’ t say I ’ ve enjoyed parking the things in the city – or trying to climb a narrow bush track in one . Let alone actually afford to buy one .
My all-time favourite 4WD tow vehicle is a far more humble model , but one that was a great jack of all trades .
