ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

The manual says 1600kegs is the max regardless of the towbar fitted.Also to clarify the regular towing statement, I mean if you plan to SKIN around Oz with a caravan or boat for extended towing duties. The T will tow a boat or car trailer fine, but over a long period of time I am sure they will suffer.

Nothing beats a real 4WD in that sense. For occasional towing like I do, Im hopeful that I wont strike any major issues, especially transmission related. Im of the understanding that ZF's can be a little tricky to fit aftermarket trans coolers to, may pay to check that one out a little more before pounding the trans too much. I have a trans builder locally that can upgrade the internals using 6HP-32 parts, all genuine of course, for a couple of G's, which works out cheaper that doing an LE-95. Still, best not to go there if there is a better way.Mal K
