Used my G6E EcoLPi to tow my race car for 3 years and it never missed a beat! Was fantastic for towing and pulled effortlessly! I was towing 2280kgs with it. (I did get airbags though).

I only sold it cause I needed to carry spare wheels and other bits that took me over the 2300kg limit (closer to 2500).

1400kg would be a breeze in a EcoLpi with the cheap gas running costs as well.

Just a thought. I sold my one with 95,000 for $14750.

If your heart is set on a 4wd/SUV, the terri is pretty awesome! The Everest feels so SLOW and cumbersome to drive compared to the G6E... Sadly. The Terri I drove for a bit felt a lot lighter (which it is) and more responsive in gear though there was a massive delay when you put your foot down from standstill which I wasnt a fan of...
