[Towing With Vz Wagon]

If its a company car ??? get them to pay for it

Cheers Stewy

I wish i could, but they have long pockets and short arms, so i have to bare the costs

So the extra cost is still the way to go... Ok, it's off to Holden on Tuesday to get it all fitted out...

Any thoughts on towing 1600kg's with a Commodore wagon? (should be ok, from what else i have read, anyone got exerience with a boat of that weight and commodores?)

Go with the air shocks they are awesome and after you have finished towing just let them down again.

I used to tow a 5.25 carrabean crestcutter with my VN commodore and it was great with the air shocks.

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it.

I should point out too though, I will have this wagon until september only, then i must swap it for a Falcon Wagon (company policy). Would it still be worth the extra spend for a temporary vehicle?

If i fore-go the air shocks, would a distribution hitch be necessary? (Makay Trailer)...

Sorry for all the questions, first real boat and all.... But i do appreciate the feedback...

G'day all,

The missus and I are getting our new boat soon, but I would like some advice in regards to tow setup.

We have two options:

1) Go to holden and get the 2100kg tow kit fitted ($760+$330 fitting) which is a heavy duty bar and air shocks

2) Go to local Hayman Reese stockist and get a HR bar for $780 fitted (also 2100kg rating) no shocks etc.

Any thoughts and advice would be appreciated, are the air shocks a necessity or am i making Mr. Holden richer?

Boat to be towed:

Whittley 2080 (formerly 550) with a weight of around 1550kgs on trailer with half tank of fuel.

Tow Vehicle:

2006 VZ Commodore Wagon (legal to tow 2100kg, madness, but legal).

Thanks in advance.
