Legally you can do what you want, as long as it meets EC94/20 standards.

 

What you’re proposing is almost certainly WAY over these standards.

 

Proving it?

 

Different ball game re legality, insurance (and yes, you have to tell your insurer) etc.

 

Electrics as well can be a legal/ins nightmare.

 

I’d lay it off to a pro company.

 

£200 fun project to £1000 wallet buster.

 

Sorry, just being honest.

If it’s a second hand truck there is no way of proving who manufactured/installed the towing equipment or whether it is CE marked etc etc. If it passes a mot then the owner can’t in any way be liable surely?

Wouldn't want to bicker it in court
