Quick Google gives this:

2.7 TDI manual Terrano is 2800Kg
3.0 manual Terrano is 3000Kg
2.5 2008 Navara is 2600Kg

hi jimmy, it seems you need to be able to tow 3.5 tons, i reckon you need a patrol mate or another 4x4 but i think some of them may be on there limits regards towing, someone will be along to put us right, lol

Yea so iv realised but iv since discovered the fork lift weights 3.8 on its own never mind the ivor williams tipper trailer aswell. I might have to find a 7.5 tonner.

Tezzer dont suppose you are anywhere near chelmsford? this is where the fork lift is at the min. If so do you no of any body that could deliver at a good price?

it gets more complicated!

if you use your 'king cab' it is a cimmercial vehicle and you must stay within the 'train weight' stamped on the chassis plate! I think if you excced 3.5 tons train weight it changes the commercial category so 2.5 tone forklift + trailer (guess 500k) + king cab (guess 1800K) = 4800k ? not fogeting any other things you may carry!

would this then need a taccograph fitted to be legal? I thnk it would, but i am sure someone else knows the answer

with a car i dont beleive the train weight rule applies so you would be better off with a large car i.e patrol as suggested but having said that! I dont beleive there is a legal towing limit for your t2 so if it was a little over weight would it matter? it would probably affect your insurance though should any incidents ocurr!

food for thought if nothing else!

im in basildon so it's around 18-20 miles from me, but i will phone a mate who knows someone who collects and delivers cars with a transporter, so i'll check with him because of the weight involved, i will pm you when i know more.
