[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 7977615, member: 718"] The 80, 100 and 200 series are rated for 3.5 tons. It has nothing to do with engine size. The proof of that is that my old 67hp LR110 pickup was rated for 3.5 tons as standard, which it did regularly tow for 22 years on difficult roads. Sometimes it needed low range towing up hill on A roads around here. Third gear high was used very often even unladen and the speedometer then doubled as a rev counter where 30mph equalled 3000rpm and 35mph in third was 3500rpm. Where it could just about manage 30mph towing 2.5 tons, my current 2.2 Ranger automatic prances along relatively effortlessly with the same load at 50mph at lower revs. [/QUOTE]
