I was just wondering if the 6x6 can tow a 4.5 ton trailer.
Am I better off buying a 1700L unimog. This is for towing long distances approximately 6000 km a fortnight.

Not legally.
Oh, have a read here about the Mog.

Somewhere towards the bottom it gives towing ratings.
Thanks Mick for redirecting me to this post. I did extensive searches on this topic but got no real hits.
One day, in the near future (I hope), I'll be taking my Perentie to an acredited engineer to have the GCM re rated. Hopefully it will be over 3.5t but I'll be going for the maximum I can get.
54 Series 1 86
61 Series 2 109 - Club Rego
76 2 Door Range Rover
78 101 Forward Control - Club Rego
88 Perentie FFR - Club Rego
90 4 Door Range Rover - Club Rego
93 Discovery 1 200 Tdi - Club Rego
98 Freelander 1 - Full Rego
22 Defedner 90 - Full rego
I read the legal tow capacity the other day, very surprising, but, maybe the low rating is because of the pintle hook and or how it's mounted, either way it's disappointing.
Cheers Baz.

The rating used is an 'all terrain' rating the Military use, so it's based on off road towing which is why it is so low. The Pintle is good for 4500Kg I think and the chassis easily to 3000kg. It would require an Engineer to sort this legally and some have done this. Given the Defender of the same era can tow crap loads more, I wouldn't think it would be a difficult sell to an Engineer if you can find a sympathetic ear.
