Just updated our old Coromal van to a new Jayco Journey Outback. We had the Coromal for 7 years (it was a 2007 build which we bought in 2012) and never had any trouble with it. Took it to a lot of fun places and did 20000km over those 7 years. So hopefully we have as much fun and trouble free years with the new one.
On a side note, the Coromal weighed just under 2500kg with 230kg on the ball (loaded) and I always used a WDH. We had also had the suspension upgraded in the Pajero. With the new van it weighs just under 2800kg and 180kg on the ball (loaded). But we found there was no need for the WDH. There was a noticeable, but only slight, increase in bounce in the rear end but overall it towed well. Just need to do a longer trip now and get to see how the whole combo handles.
