Sad days. Bought a new van at Christmas, 2.5t empty & was quietly confident we could tow it easily enough with the manual D40.
Took it to Bendigo from Geelong & apart from a little extra revs on take off, not too bad.
Decided to to off to Halls Gap at Easter. A few hills & 2000+ RPM take offs & I was waiting for the big bang. We had extra fuel & water as we wanted to replicate a bit of our "Big" trip we thought we would take in May.
Since all this, I have had a health issue & my wife may have to do the bulk of the driving. So back to the Nissan Dealer (I still like Nissans??).
Ended up buying a 2011 plated Pathfinder TI550 for less than the new D40, go figure (sorry about that guys, but I will still hang around this great forum).
I have attached a few photos of the Pathfinder & the offending van.
Cheers, Phil
