Looks like that big lump of steel sticking out the back may have had something to do with that...!

Indeed! The weight distribution would appear to be way out. Looks like he got away with it though damage wise. When I was a passenger in a 'snake' we were pulled onto a gravel/soft verge and flipped. Now that was a brown pants moment!

I don't think 90,s are any good for towing big trailers there too short better off with 110 towing hight and getting the waight in the bight place is the main thing along with the right speed

 

Local on slow roads you'll get away with most things but on motorways at speed things can get really bad rally quick

Yup about a tonne ( front half of a defender ) the trucks 145 bhp so also got enuff power to not hold traffic up

 

Most towing accidents involve pick up trucks or 90,s as there too light on the back end

Its the best thing I could get to fit my 5 kids in & to tow an American Caravan, its right hand drive and 5.7 V8 auto

 

And you have to drop the Engine to change the spark plugs.

Does anyone use / are electric trailer brakes legal here? They are standard in Aus.

 

With an override switch in towing vehicle to manually apply trailer brakes without touching vehicle brakes. Easy way to pull yourself up if you start snaking.
