I noticed that Clive Smith's Technical Introduction on the website says not to tow for extended periods.
Does this mean don't have the vehicle towed or is there an issue in towing a trailer?

Ah, that means don't have it towed for extended periods and don't have it towed with a front or rear-end lift without removing the propshaft first. Ther are good towing vehicles up to their placarded max. towing weight and tow-hitch load...
