Not sure a bloke who just ties down loads & turns a steering wheel for hours on end would have the expertise of just where to hit summat.

Yep logical to have an Effey or Ram but I think the idea is that you have the car luxuries and not driving a small truck day to day.

I've mentioned before my friends I grew up with had a caravan hire service and they would tow a 21' caravan with a FJ Holden Ute.

BRAKES! You had Brakes? In my day we looked for the nearest River Red Gum & ran into that. Brakes pffffft Kid's Stuff.[bigrolf]Quote:

That was only if they didn't have anything else to drop off, if they did, they would land.
Gears and the handbrake were the only form of brakes[thumbsupbig]
Now what was this thread all about?[tonguewink]
Ah,Land Rovers,so we are still on topic.[biggrin]
A Caterpillar D4 would be suited to the task of towing such a big boat. You may have problems with the road authorities.Quote:
