Hi all, I've be thinking of buying a used fastrac sub £20k. Will be used manly on road towing around 10 to 12ton. Doing about 40 miles once a week. Are fastrac suitable for so much road use? Any models to look out for our to avoid? Or any other advice?
Cheers

Been doing 100mile a day between these 2 the last few days. 1135 and 2140. 1135 is a bit heavy on the clutch and steering compared to the 2140.
