  • Towing weight please...?

    Hi all, what's the max I can tow with my 3ltr 2nd gen? A friend wants me to collect a LWB SIII Lannie on a twin axle trailer from Carlisle. Not sure of weight of trailer!

    Cheers, Damian.

    Hi Damian, If I remember correctly you can tow upto 100% of your vehicle on a braked trailer....so that'll be around 2 ton (approx 4000lbs).

    I know its been covered in the Towing & Caravan discussion many a time. Hope this helps

          Towing Weight

          You should be fine , i have a 3.0 93 surf and have towed a 30ft 2.5 ton boat and it was fine .

          But remember lots of weight means long stopping distances .

          o one thing more if you are going up hills she might overheat this is due to the cooling system not being up to the job .but take it easy and you will be fine

            saw on an african touring website that is can pull 2500kgs. had mine weighed and its 2080kgs inc me! Anything upto 2000kgs (2 ton) should be no probs. Although I also get heating probs when towing 1600kgs twin axle caravan up long hills!


            Goodluck

              Some manufacturers state Towing Weights higher than vehicles weight, but i'd keep it around 100% of your surf & you'll be ok
