[QUOTE="Goweresque, post: 7193363, member: 818"] Thats the case for any large engined vehicle first registered after March 2006. The trick is to fine one that was registered just before the cut off, then its about £300/yr tax :cool: The ML320 has been a great towing vehicle for me, though off road performance is not good. My one issue is whether it would be up to towing on the 3.5 tonne limit all day everyday. I use mine for delivering hay, and never tow above 3 tonnes gross, often around 2 and a half. That being said it feels a lot more stable on the road than my old TD5, with exactly the same load. Whether the chassis and sub frame is the boss of 3.5 tonne of moving around cattle is the question I'd be asking. You can find an ML320 with about 100k on the clock for about 4-5k now. Most have never towed seriously, if at all, so if you have to fit the towbar yourself you know its not been hammered too hard. [/QUOTE]
