bangm001 Member 307 Member For: 19y 1m 11d 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
