Aussie Ford Falcon

G'day..just wondering how anyone else out there rates these beasts as tow cars....4.0 six 1600 kg tow pack..tows the cheetah fine but if I upgrade the boat?

I towed an older (heavier) Millard 16 foot caravan and my 16 foot V6 powered ski boat great. It used a fair bit more fuel when towing but had heaps of power, roadholding and stopping.

I bought a new boat which was at that time very heavy on the tow bar. This didn't go as well, particularly in the wet where stopping was a problem. We later moved the boat further back on the trailer which should have fixed the ball weight but I didn't get to tow it with my falcon.

I have a lot of friends that tow with Falcon and Commodores. They tow 18 and 20ft or bigger inboard ski boats without compaint.

I don't think it will be a problem if setup right and if you stay within rated limits. If you are near the limit, you may have to drive accordingly.
