Would you tow up to your vehicle limit

Slightly, I would have towed with my 90 or range rover if they Wernt both broken also and the d3 was out, but look at any farmers ranger Mitsubishi they will tow over the limit every week going to market with a load of beasts, and it was only down the road

I know it wasn't the best thing to do just when a job needs to be done it needs to be done, plus it was probably more stable than it would have been on the 90

Who the fook loads ya trailers?? the D3 is clearly too far forwards. fook knows what the nose weight was like and the ranger is facing backwards so all the weight is over the tailend if the trailer. which causes the old "tail wagging the dog" syndrome..

would towing this put ya over a safe or legal limit??

LOL at these, but at least the loads dont throw themselves around (well hopefully)

Since I posted this I think the generally opinion on this has shifted slightly towards good sense.

Probably helped by someone who wanted to tow an massive 800Kg horse in a single trailer which only weighed 500Kilos behind a car. (It would have been legal)

It's all well and good saying that but the trailers were stable on the road no fish tailing, tail wagging whatever you want to call it, the most important for me towing is to have it well secured and stable and if it isn't right or I'm not happy ill move the load, the trailer brakes are adjusted every 6 weeks or so as a lot of towing is done with the trailer, and wee never had an accident loss or any problems yet so I would say it was fine, it was loaded backwards as it has to pushed on and that happened to be the direction it was facing, steering lock stuck on.
