    Fresh Towing vehicle

    As the title suggests, I’m looking for a fresh vehicle to tow the cattle trailer. My brothers little Terios is up for swapping soon before he totally destroys it and I’m thinking a second motor fit to pull the 12ft trailer wouldn’t be a bad thing. He’s not madly keen on pick ups as they make...
