This was the bit i didnt know;

 

Remember' date=' that this only works for trailed items over 750kg which can't carry a load themselves.[/quote']

 

Cheers for that Nige, i think its more viable using the V8 to tow it as its well stripped out still, and the dbl cab weighs over 2.5 tons as it is:001_huh:

 

looks like Mike could be getting his name on the V8 insuranse:crying::driver::toilet:

Here you go Pete.

 

Towing trailers or caravans with vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes : Directgov - Motoring

 

It would seem, therefore that the gross weight of the towing vehicle doesn't matter, provided that the whole rig doesn't exceed 3.5 tonnes. :001_smile:

 

Stick the chipper on the double cab, you drive the V8, the insurance will be cheaper!

 

I was nearly right. :biggrin:

Great Nige, wouldnt believe it but i just found it on there!

 

Nice little loophole in the post `97 license:thumbup1:

 

Just real glad i never got Mike told about drinin the V8, might have been well hacked off if he thought he was demoted to a TD5:thumbup:

 

Cheers for the help Nige, its much appreciated:001_cool:
