antg 1,729 Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 toyota landcruser or nissan patrol will tow that weight. im not too sure but think you might have to have a tacograph fitted as your gross weight will be over the 3.5t ltd. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SNAP SHOT 194 Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 MY discovery is rated to tow 3 1/2 ton and its pure easy on juice compared to other 4x4's , trust me, its the 5 cylinder model, and has plenty of torque, and not at all bouncy.......................excellent machine.

antg 1,729 Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 i had a fourtrak for a while, although they are rated to pull that kind of weight they dont realy like too. i used to put 2 ton regularly on a trailer and the fortrak struggled with it. you also have to think of the stopping abilaty. when you get that kind of weight pushing you, you want something that will stop you. nissan patrol or landcruser every time for me if i was wanting to tow that kind of weight Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blackfell 16 Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 hi i think a disco will pull that no probs,but if you want to pull more you have to have an airbraked trailer?. ive pulled over 4 ton with mine ,and left the handbrake on ,only noticed when the trailer brakes caught fire lol,good job the coppers didnt see it, thought it felt abit heavy lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest shay Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 a fourtrack is rated the same as a landrover so i am told your told wrong then mate, there is no way on this planet that a fourtrak will ever ever tow 3.5 tonne and be safe doing it, it would push you straight off the road, 110 Defender or a discovery is the only way to go, I have a few trailers at work and they are plated at 850kg, basically it allows me to put 2150 kg's on the trailer, now Plenty of people go on about the Landcruiser being the dogs danglies, but when you move vehicles up and down like I do you get to know quite quickly what cuts the mootard, the Landcruiser is grand until you really put the weight on and they too get pushed around, good piece of kit Toyota don't get me wrong but they aint the real deal when it comes to towing heavy gear.
