thats actually 22 million pesos, the exchange rate today was 1927 pesos per dollar so the price is about 11k u.s. dollars. all cars coming into colombia are taxed at 60 of purchase price... so they are pricey even when they are older..rm

We have heaps of them in New Zealand and they rate the 95 on models at 3500kgs which is 7700lbs. Pre 95 they are 2500kgs. I'd personally tow it and not get super stressed over it..

Back down the ramp slowly or you may not stop until the boat is floating!! Otherwise my 4dr wrangler pulled my 25ol up the ramp easily! Rated at 3500# and boat/trailer was prob around 7k or so. And that was 2wd with 35" tirek
You have nothing to worry about besides backing too fast, it will drag front tires. Good luck!!

you can tow it with a VW Beetle. How badly would you like to be able to stop ? That is the real question. I don't think you need a dually, but a land cruiser is marginal.

Dude, get real...we know where you are. Just ask anyone on the street where you can get a deal on a truck that can haul 3,629 kilos....... shouldn't be difficult at all...

According to some on this site, I don't even think you need a truck to pull 8000lbs.
