[S J H]

Like this one, a 'proper' 5th wheel.

That's the one, it would be good on a farm truck for a livestock trailer, I still need a canopy on mine for work.

This with a fifth wheel

Read the bumf - they only do them up to 160hp one a four banger. Nooo!

I would dearly love to have a pickup with a 'real' engine.

The problem is, they're all American and having an American pickup in Britain proves you have a tiny, tiny little penis. They're so vulgar, too. The other option is to engine-swap... but only people that rummage through bins do that.

Buy the pick then book your self in to see the Doc or go to Ann Summers to sort out your problem, You will buy a big yank pick-up for less than a bog standard one here, you may have to sit on the other side when driving.

Think they used to only do them for Navara's.

Neat, isn't it?

Piffle! No HGV ticket, no O license, no 13 week checks, no 56mph limiter.

who makes that one?

 

[Henarar]

The extra length of a 22' flat for me would be swallowed up by the fact you could turn much, much tighter - maybe 120 degrees? Fab!

would cut the corners though

 

[multi power]

As long as they are not both grossed as that would come to 15t.

Wouldn't 7.5 ton be max gross weight including the trailer?

That would make ordering burgers hard. Job's off!

The Fifth Wheel Co.

The drawbar wastage would be reduced by 2-3 feet, though... so it would be nearly the same as what I have now - 18' plus 4' drawbar.

 

[Mursal]

But you couldn't put the dog in the back, with that thing?

yea but it would cut the corners more

According to the quote, a 12T train weight is allowed. So with a fully laden wagon, you could tow 4.5t. Or you could do 6t and 6t.

as long as you have the right licence you can gross 12t

I used to have shawne Poole trailer with a swan neck. Put it on the puh & ripped the cab off the tractor

She can ride in the pickup with me

yea but it would cut the corners more

Only by a foot, using the earlier reckoning. I can cope with that because I am skilled and precise

 

[Henarar]

be a lot more than that

I'd have to get an import 4.1 diesel or 4.9 petrol

 

[7610 super q]

Don't argue with someone who is skilled and precise.

 

[smcapstick]

be a lot more than that

How so?

Current - 18' bed, 4' drawbar between beed and bumper.

Swan neck - 22' bed, 1' between bed and bumper.

Overall, only 1' longer.

 

[multi power]

So that means you could tow a say 5 ton tractor on a trailer behind a 7.5 tonner?

 

[Henarar]

yea but you are pulling it from on top the axle rather than a hitch what 3 foot behind it ? so it will cut the corners more
