First time towing with my T2

04-05-2009, 19:50

Just got back from my first venture out towing with my T2.Great tug!Went up to the lakes with ease.Sat at 60 all the way(when possible),weather not good but the truck took the miles in it's stride.Few jobs needed this week-New wiper blades(flat type),fit new airhorns=great for blind bends when towing!Possible conversion to induction kit to allow better breathing?Apart from these i think a good wash&wax and we are ready for our next venture!Woodyc.
