I have had 4 tons of additional weight on my landrover today- in my experience its not necessarily how much weight you are towing but how hard you push it. I don't force anything with mine for example with long uphill drags I just select a nice comfortable low gear where I don't have to have my foot to the floor to keep it going and just chog my way up- yes it might only do 20mph up a hill with 3 tons on but my tractor wouldn't do it any faster either. I agree, maintenance is key and just being in tune with your motor.

 

 

Agree maintain them well.

Have 2 Td5s and a 300 Tdi (140k miles) and always choose the latter for proper towing!
