My dad has been considering selling his Falcon and buying a T5 Multivan that they would use to tow their 1400kg caravan all over the country when he retires.
The local auction yard had a van the same as mine come up this week and he decided to call a respected Auto trans shop and see what they knew about towing with them and if they had any problems.
The guy said they do not handle towing a heavy load and basically blow up. A replacement box is $5k and he would not recommend an auto T5 for towing a heavy load and then went on to say that they have worked on a T5 owned by a builder who has the van loaded and tows a heavy trailer and he has had major problems.
As any one else heard this? If you do tow with an auto have you had any problems and how heavy is the trailer?
On a side note the 05 Multivan with 48000km sold pre-auction for $29700.
