Was passenger the whole trip in the backseat of an 85 Patrol to Cape york and back no problems,
riden in the third row seats of one plenty of times plenty of room how's the third row seating in a
Falcodore?
> No rear leg room and the rear luggage space is woeful for the exterior size.
Wheel a fully assembled 4 burner BBQ into the boot of a Falcodore and repeat that statement.
I also would be one that would be strongly lobbying to ban

Works Cherry picker, 1.5 tonne, had it behind my Econovan once, but wouldn't make 5th. Was a bit
slow going to Bundaburg on the back of the old 75 series trayback diesel Landcruiser, but wouldn't
have wanted anything lighter when it got out of shape a couple of times, more power could have been
handy though.
Lighting plant trailer behind of my V8 Rangie 1.4 tonne, no problems overtaking still. Hilux & car
trailer behind of my Rangie, your guess? EJ Holden & car trailer behind of my 4cyl 1968 Landy, still
made 4th gear too. 2 Horses in a float trailer ain't light either.
> Is it legal to tow such a heavy load without a special licence with a passenger vehicle?
You're allowed to tow legally in most states 1.5 times the weight of the towing vehicle.
> Do you have a bull bar as well?
Yep, aluminium can strength alloy too, straightened it twice already.
