Hi all.
I’m toying with the idea of selling an old transit flat bed I use minimally for work, and thinking of getting a trailer to save on the annual costs of running a vehicle that I do around 1200 miles if that a year in.
So I’m looking for something I can use for work but also that I could get my E46 M3 on IF I ever needed to.
I’ve so far looked at an Ifor Williams, my local place that sells them recommended an LM146 G3 tri axle, its has removable drop sides which is handy, but after looking at it today, I wonder if I’d even get my M3 on it, 8ft skids with it, the angle looks steep, think I may need to look at something else, and wondered on here what people use?
Also as a side note, I have a VW Transporter T6 T32 to tow with, from what I understand at 3200 ton vehicle it can train a total of 5300kg, meaning the above trailer being a 3500kg with a payload of 2655kg - which pushes me over for my Transporter, would anyone know if I could still tow this trailer just making sure I don’t go over the stated combined weight of 5300kg as stamped on the data plate on the van?
