If you every wonder about whether to undercoat or not when painting over some old paint, the answer is always yes and oil based.

Towing

NZ tradie here, dont hold it against me.

I looking for anyone here who has some real world experience with long term towing on the byd ute.

Regularly travel in excess of 300km per day up and down country (work in a dairy support industry) and Im getting a bit sick of my van enough to pull the plug on it. Will be towing roughly 1t+ in gear plus the trailer every 2-3 days, sometimes daily.

Will wait for the 2L obviously as it turns up in May as large engine should theoretically drop down fuel consumption when towing and extra capacity (3.5t vs 2.5t) is always good.

As an aside, I do realise my fuel bill will be greater than my existing van but Im starting to dislike the constant chemicals Im breathing daily.
