hoping to tow with cruiser/patrol am willing to build ally trailer to keep a little weight down.Only have to travel around five km to ramp.Currently trying to work out the weight for a 2700 extended cab noosa cat. not a big fan of ally for cats. I may have to bite the bullet and buy a cheap f truck (if possible)

Like your syle .... ftrucks are definitely the way to go if you have the cash ... 7.3Ltr V8 T/D Powerstroke ... Used to have a combined rig of just under 8 tons ... 16.6 ltres per 100 K's ... fantastic ...
