No they do not. Frank the Hilux is the only one not suitable for towing and that includes a 5th Wheel. The Navara, Ford Ranger, Holden Colorado , Mazda BT-50 and Isuzu Dmax are made for the smaller Jayco.
Yes I am very aware there are Lariats etc . I doubt any people on this Forum ,it appears including yourself , know much about the IVECO Daily.
With trucks com harder suspensions more jarring and les creature comforts,not many Americans buy base model pickups but Lariat and King ranch in Australia u don't get much to chose from.
I doubt they all buy Lariats and King Ranch's for towing Frank. The IVECO has adjustable airbag suspension with suspended seats.
actually did inspect the Jayco FW in Perth last year when home and as I said reasnebly nice finish but I did not find it spacious and don't like having too crawl into bed.
I inspected both the Sunliner and Jayco and both were easy to walk around, the Sunliner having a bed in the middle of the 5ver like a Caravan. Only thing I would agree with you on Frank is the Jayco's European style interior as Gerry Ryan has said he is impressed by the Hobby Brand in Germany.
