    Thanks for that important info re the tow weight. After a few hours searching, I came up with Gross Trailer Mass of 900kgs. GVM of 5.6t GCM of 7.1t open road and cross country. 1500kg difference. Both are way to light for towing my van. I will have to do a lot more research on this.

    I think the 900kg is for the 4x4.

    The 6x6 towing capacity is 1500kg.

    I've no doubt this could be changed quite easily.

    What documentation did you get that from or did you just subtract 5.6t from 7.1t?

    A few websites state it, I've not looked at anything official.

    However I went with that as the GCM-GVM is 1500kg like you say...

    Mick Im sure that they well capable of towing 3 to 4t, but what is marked at the tow capacity is what is legal. I know the Series2 and I think 3 110 were rated at 4.5t.
    My interest in the 6x6 is cooling because of this, as I need at least a 3t rating to tow my van.

    Manufacturers set the tow capacity.

    Mick, the can of worms people are hedging around is this:
    There is no documentation available from lr starting towing capacity. All we have is the figure given in the military manuals (not legally binding) and the rated gcm.

    That is what is scaring me off them Dave. The difference between GVM and GCM is only 1500kg, way to light for what I need. The vehicle is perfect as a service vehicle for me, but I also need to tow my van as well.
