Hi guys,

In the newbie section I've discovered I have bought a TF.

I'm trying to find out its towing / load / axle weights

Google is useless.

I can't look in the truck for info as I haven't collected it and I'm towing a BIG load back with it so I could do with them before I get there.

Mine is a LWB version which I can't find any info on.

I'd like to post a pic but as I'm a newbie I can't.

Does anyone have any info on them ?

Thanks

Yes but there isn't a TF Forum

Sad  

It seems to share a lot of bits with the Rodeo and I've seen them described as a Rodeo in some markets.

Jesus that things huge! You need a LGV licence to drive that?  Laughing

would like to see my missus reverse park one of those at the supermarket.

Didn't realise isuzu did pickups that big, looks like a pickup from one of the US dealers.

Weren't they used quite often with a 5th wheel on for towing massive caravans? Or 5th wheel trailers as they are known.


EDIT:

Found one in completed listings

Very nice  Cool
The towing limits should be on a plate unless its in jap  Rolling Eyes
Other than that the MAM should be the same as the relevent year rodeo.

I've read up on it and it seems that the way it works is that the trailer weighs 4 tons.

The towing weight allowed is say 3.3 tons

And the load weight allowed is 1 ton so they say the other .7 tons is being carried NOT towed.

Its all a bit of a grey area.

It will be applied brakes that work from the trucks brakes instead of the brakeback system used on normal trailers.
Totally legal  Very Happy

Yes apparently its VOSA who do spot checks that you need to worry about.

I've only ever towed a car trailer before so tomorrow could be a steep learning curve !
