( my maximum budget)
I heard on the grape vine that some earlier models had some problems, with transmission etc.
Would appreciate advice on Territory’s in general as a towing vehicle, any problems in general with the 2008 model, plus anything useful.
Thanks this is a great forum!
Territory are great tow vehicles. As 03 Ghia said, fit an aftermarket heavy duty cooler. I would also recommend getting a transmission fluid change at the same time. Should be about $400 ($200/$200) for the lot. New fluid and a cooler and you'll have no worries. Enjoy!
