    That's not what I'm reading mate. I would like to get some resolve as it sounds like many people would!

    Towing capacity for a 6x6 Perentie

    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.

    Hi Mate,

    Mick_Marsh is rarely on this forum anymore (if ever). So unfortunately I don't think that you will get an answer. I do see him on a few FaceBook Perentie pages though.

    Cheers,
    GG.

    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.

    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.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.
