You want something that weighs over 2500kg and has around 5.0L or more. If you just tow a boat to and from the ramp, or a smaller van within 100km from home will be fine. Or a sub 1500kg camper trailer. Otherwise you just end up being a moving roadblock and flog the hell out of your vehicle.

Geez mate that's a bit harsh... I tow 2.5tonne at 100kph (sometimes 110) and I'm sure I'm not a "moving roadblock". I have no problems overtaking semi's and bdoubles uphill and I don't hold anyone up on the straight and narrow It all depends on how fast you want to go, but we have speed limits to cover that. I just climbed the Clyde mountain with the van on last week and there were very few drivers stuck behind me.
