Hi Scotty

I'm in the UK but love your vids and channel. I have a caravan 1450kg and I need a new (to me) vehicle, which would be our only vehicle - so it would need to tow the caravan as well as do normal stuff. We only do about 4,000miles pa non towing and about 4,000 m towing. I've been trying to find a reliable petrol tow car (to avoid DPF issues) with a big enough engine to tow (my last car was Subaru Outback 3.0r). Have looked at 2.5 Sub Outback (3.0 no longer available) or Lexus RX450h. Any views or other options? Or should I go diesel and get a 2.4 or 2.8 Toyota Hilux? Are DPF's really the problem they are made out to be? Many thanks. Graham

I would go for the diesel Toyota. 


Thanks for your answer - what about DPF issues because I have such a small non towing mileage?


Just a necessary maintenance item... How often replaced depends on miles and how driven (all diesel in UK good?). Check prices on replacement in your area for the filter for that vehicle and it'll give you more info on $ when it does occurs and what to expect.

I would take the diesel Toyota too.  I really wish those were commonly available here in the US.
