Anyone uprated a 4x4 pick up to 3.5 tonner?

[openspaceman]

I believe that the point of +3.5t sub 7.5t is that the pre 97 licence holders can drive up to a combined vehicle and trailer weight of 8.25t, vehicle max 7.5t, trailer max 3.5t. so if driving a plated 7.5tonner, the maximum trailer allowed would be one plated at 750kgs. but if the truck was for example a 5.5t iveco daily, the trailer could be 2.75t-allowing a payload of about 2-5t on the truck and tow a big bandit chipper for example.

 

going over 8.25t would need a C1+E as i understand

 

That's my understanding too.

 

C1+E allows a GTW 0f 12 tonnes but most with grandfather rights (as their test was before 1997) are restricted by a note 107 on the licence to 8.25 tonnes.

Yes makes sense, im post 97 hence if getting anything bigger than 3.5 would make sense to go as close to 7.5 as possible, still on the to-do list

And as I did, if over 21 you might as well do the C (any weight rigid) as it's pretty much the same test/cost

Will PM you to keep this thread on topic.
