Condition of oil, but meh they all burn heaps (mine is black lol), check for rust along boot fold lines and front windscreen supports. That car may have power steering but even without it the steering shouldn't be heavy anyway.
Check for rust or an sign of water leaks in the front left guard and door frame. The water commonly comes thru there and then will blow the relay for the aircon located in passenger footwell on the left.
Obviously check the lights including the additional driving lights which can be used with high beam (button is located in the top centre of the dash).
Be prepared to spend a bit on fuel, and probably oil, most 22re will burn it but keep it in check and it'll be fine.
Never driven an auto so can't help there. The IRS are even softer stock than live rear cars so its gonna be a boat. Never driven one with IRS but if its anything like the live rear model they are quite lively from the rear in the wet.

Minds live rear but has a tow bar and HD suspension. 62 L tank auto will probably be more fuel depends on driving style though.

probably about 400-450km if you used the whole tank. Tow bar mounts may be different due to different suspension setups. Not sure otherwise i have never used it so hmmm.

towbar should be bolted to the chassis and not interfer with any of the suspension. its uusally got 2 mouinting points, one each side of the chassis rails basically.
ill see if mine has holes for it ready to be bolted up
