Hi Folks, I'm totally new to 4x4 things and have been jolly pleased to read so much helpful stuff here. I need to buy a cheap (sub£2.5k) vehicle to tow a 3.5 tonne exhibition trailer that is 7m long. This is a drawbar trailer with four wheels and will have an actual weight quite close to 3.5 tonnes when loaded. I have researched carefully all the VOSA and DVLA regulations and I'll be using a tacho etc. Question is: what vehicle? All the exhibition people say go for Landrover Discovery, but reading up tells me that these are full of issues.

Well, I have a foutrak which has no MOT due to excessive corrosion (which I mentioned in a previous post several months ago). The corrosion to fix with a welder etc looks to be about a 2 grand job.

So what does anyone reckon my chances are of selling it to:

Hi all.

I would like to draw your attention to the section at the top of the page "How it works". Of mainly interest to Fourtrak and Sportrak owners, but others may find the communication article of interest.

3 new and interesting articles from "assassin", a good read, a change from hearing about Fourtrak owners problems.
