Towing lotsa camper

[Showy]

Queens birthday weekend i'm going to start living the dream. Have wound down the business, sold the house, single, and bought myself a Xtrail Navigator as my new home.

I'm going camping with my mates on the Q.B. long weekend in Vic, and as they go south, I start heading north. Meeting another group of mates in Cairns mid July to do the Cape trip.

Anyone in a D22 STR '08 build or similar common rail (non chipped) done a bunch of towing with any weight? I'm not the type to pass anything up either, so If another vehicle can get there, I'm going to get there with a D22 and a ton of trailer on the back.

At the moment I'm booked in to get an ARB rear air locker, compressor (obviously) and a pump up kit, over a chip it upgrade. I figure traction and tyre management over power at this stage.

Your thoughts? Catch you somewhere up north.... and bloody looking forward to it.

Cheers

Showy.

Front locker would do a better job imo

If you're just taking the time to see stuff and not rushing around like a blue-arsed fly you'll find the D22 is more than adequate as a tug.

I'd look at a front locker before the rear as well.

I don't tow but have three same motor.don't rush it and just take your time. As others have mentioned I would be going a front locker over rear. The rear LSD is one of the best. Goodluck

Thanks for your comments - After searching through the forum i've changed my mind - Front locker it's going to be. I like the sound of the 'E Locker'. Hopefully it's available in the next week or two.
