  1. We have a 79 series dual cab and we have just begun towing our XC3 (~3300kg loaded). I guess I don't have much experience to compare, but as a new van tower, after about two hours behind the wheel, I got the feel of it and it towed fairly predictably. Now, a 200 might sit better on the road and be easier... I am not sure. Mine's lifted with mud tyres etc. so it's not going even run as stable as a stock example (although stock suspension is terrible towing). On the nicer highways, I probably sat at 90-95kph. Anymore than that and diesel disappears at a fast rate! I do have a remap/exhaust/intake done, so there was no problem with power going up the Toowoomba range and other long steep inclines. I am going to get a brake booster as I feel the stock brakes after a lift are not great. On the back roads, we were between 70 and 90kph because of all the ditches, narrow asphalt, hills, turns etc.
  2. After ordering or triple bunk XC3 in November, we are glad to have taken delivery two weeks ago! We just had our first shakedown trip and van life is a lot easier than the 15 years of tenting we've been doing prior!! Keen to learn and share experiences in this forum Chris
