towing weights for a 310 or 290 l2 125hp

Postby topshelf » Mon Jul 16, 2018 8:13 pm

sorry if its been covered before ( did try a search)
I am looking for a custom van that is capable on a few occasions in the year to tow my indespension trailer 2600kgs, most of the time its about 1600kgs to 2000kgs. (once a week) the van can be empty on these few occasions . I know the 330 is the best option but there is not a lot of choice out there. I have looked / down loaded two PDF brochure, both conflict in the stated weights GVM 290 l2 = 4400kgs then 290 l2 = 5100 kgs same for the 310 , and none indicate the model year. I will be looking to get a 14 or 15 plate van .
I have punched a few numbers into the ETIS but that doesent bring much details up. its the GVM that I need. I have been into one local dealer as you know they just want a sale so will tell you any thing and im reluctant to travel miles for that.
And as my mate whose a mechanic says I should look for a 350 RWD , but I had a custom hire van in December for a month, it was great to drive and not much bigger than my 4x4
Thanks for reading Phill

Check with manufacturer 1st.

Especially if buying a brand new Transit Custom.
Quite a few new models don't have GTW/GTM listed on VIN label & they are NOT permitted too tow anything :!:
