Hi All.
Since January 17 my 1997 Maverick SWB 2.7 TD has proved a reliable buy. Purchased for local shopping, dog beach trips and occasionally towing 5 x 10 Williams double wheel trailer. However I find that although it pulls the empty trailer without issue. It really has to work hard to pull a 1.5 ton pay load back, you can smell it getting hot and even temp guage rises as it climbs a quarter mile country lane incline in 2nd or 3rd. Am I expecting to much from it.
