towing capacity of a patrol

peddler · 11-02-2016, 20:59

Hi new to the forum, I am in the building trade and need a vehicle that can pull a 3 ton cherry picker on a trailer that weighs a ton so total 4 tons? I been offered a Nissan patrol GR SE TD 1997 with a tachometer already installed on mark 2 nato towing bracket (quick releasing pin). The owner says that it has a train weight of 6200kg with weight of vehicle of 1900kg so leaving 4300kg for the trailer and cargo. The trouble is I am trying to confirm this? as we all know DVSA (old vosa) like paperwork, if pulled over.

any help on this would be very much appreciated. many thanks in advance. Gary
