I'm looking at obtaining an older Toyota Land Cruiser, the two-door
J40(?) type with the straight 6 engine. I'm wondering what others
on this list might consider the minimum sized vehicle for towing a
P-19, including over high mountains. I'm not worried about going
65 mph over the Rockies, I'll happily drop down to 45 mph if need
be, but I don't want to drop below that if I can, and I don't want
the engine struggling at maximum output to maintain that speed.
>From what I've read here and there, mostly looking at towing
capacities, a 6 cylinder is the minimum I want. I'm also wondering
about wind hitting the boat and the vehicle being heavy enough to
contain the side pressure on the boat and not be blown out of
control.
Any comments welcome. (I know I'll get them anyway, might as well
invite them! :-)
