I'm not surprised you say this and I agree, and have similar needs. My truck has a 3500kg towing capacity and a range (on dinosaur juice) of 1000km, which is only just acceptable for what I need; I'll put in a long range tank for an extra 700km eventually. An EV just won't cut it.
Maybe one day I guess, but not this day huh?
No, not at all. My old truck had a tow capacity of about 3500kg, but our newer travel trailer weighed about 2700kg alone, then when you add all our gear it was pretty close to the limit. I felt more like the trailer was pushing me versus me pulling it. Lots of white knuckle driving. My new truck can handle about 5900kg and it's like night and day. You hardly know it's back there sometimes!
Yep, it's important to have the right capacities for sure. We get all the same tracks as you guys (maybe not the full range, but the basics) and there's some who need the increased capacity; I don't so I don't spend the money on them as they are vastly more expensive. As it is mine cost me $100,000 AUD to buy and I've spent another $20,000 on accessories. That's ample...way too much really! 🙄
I've never owned a brand new vehicle, so I saved some money there. I think my truck had maybe 60k miles on it and it was $30,000 USD, so still pretty expensive for being used. She's a beast though and I love her.
