Holden Commodore: Towing
The SS-V Redline sportwagon is rated to tow 2100 kg (braked), so it would be very close to its maximum limit. While it should handle the mass I would be looking to something with a higher towing rating for what you want to do. That could be a 4WD SUV or a one-tonne ute.

Holden Commodore: Stretched timing chain
The Holden V6 clearly has a problem with the timing chain, and like you I don't think it should have to be replaced, certainly not at such a low kay reading. I believe you should at least have a claim against Holden to cover part of the cost of replacing the chain. Go back to your dealer, and if necessary Holden as well, and press your claim.
