I also want to get a shuttle anyway which may increase the weight.
Other than the usual big British/German 4x4 stuff with the 3500kg rating is anyone aware of anything interesting that has a decent tow rating?
No defenders

Get it with big wheels and painted plastic arches if you want it to be a bit less me

yeah a pickup could go through the business actually although i always through the benefits were fairly marginal..drcarlos wrote: Wed Sep 25, 2019 10:45 am Amarok or Merc Pickup V6, older Navara V6 (made in Thailand so Chassis is not an issue and the 3.2 V6 doesn't suffer the big issues of the 2.5).
The newer 2.4 pickups are all a bit feeble, the 2.5's are just cooking models really.
The BiTDi isn't *that* rare - and I'd agree, it's the one to have mainly for the 8sp ZF automatic rather than 7sp S-Tronic DSG gearbox. Torque converter for the towing win.Foz wrote: Wed Sep 25, 2019 10:52 amthe BiTdi engine is the one to have but bet they are like hens teeth!Jobbo wrote: Wed Sep 25, 2019 10:45 amGet it with big wheels and painted plastic arches if you want it to be a bit less me

As long as it's a light trailer and there's absolutely no hills. I was driving this a couple of weeks ago, the trailer is basically an empty box with a desk in it, so not heavy at all, and on a slight incline (the A3 south out of Guildford if anyone knows it) it wouldn't top 40mph. With the full 3500kg it probably would have been down to first gearV8Granite wrote: Wed Sep 25, 2019 1:36 pm For stability and being able to just sit at 60 all day long the Defender is great...
