bangm001 Member 307 Member For: 19y 4m 14d Posted 28/01/06 11:39 PM Share Posted 28/01/06 11:39 PM F6 tows really well, as does the T, 1600kg limit, but can easily tow more. Read Bf Typhoon (and Mk2) -Towpacks. in the F6 typhoon and Tornado thread in this forum. Also better than Vy1SS (Gen 3) for towing.

The BA 4 speed auto could handle the 2300kg towpack.It's probably just been changed for the BF as another marketing point for the ZF box.
