Heavy Duty 3.5 Ton Car Recovery Tow Pole 1.8M Towing Bar Pulls Car, Van, 4x4 Emergency Breakdown Complete With 50mm Tow Hitch Coupling

Product Information

Finding the right car that can tow up to 3500kg can be very difficult, and there's really no good way to try before you buy. Fortunately, there are plenty of test-drive reports out there to help you make your mind. But before you start looking, it's important to see what the different options are as this will help you narrow down your search. This chassis and body combination is the strongest and most durable ever seen in a MU-X, featuring improvements in corrosion-resistance, rigidity, capacity, quietness and safety.

This is the total weight of the car and its towed load, including all passengers, fuel and luggage on board.By far the best bet for the serious tower will be a dual-cab ute or off-road SUV. Those vehicles all tend to have the turbo-diesel engines, conventional automatic transmissions and ladder-chassis construction we were talking about.

Same goes for the SUV wagon versions of the dual-cab utes ( Toyota Fortuner, Mitsubishi Pajero Sport and others). The switch form leaf to coil rear springs and an independent rear suspension system (for passenger comfort) means most of these lose a few hundred kilos of outright towing limit. The engine air intake has been heavily revised with a labyrinth of sealed airways that enables the MU-X to wade through water of up to 800mm, at a constant pace of 7km/h. An optional engine intake snorkel can be installed using the pre-fabricated pathway in the internal wheelhouse—a specialised conduit crafted during vehicle assembly that is unique to the Australian-specification MU-X.

It's not just about the size of the car

Unladen weight: the weight of a vehicle that isn’t carrying any passengers or luggage. Other variables such as fuel are also not taken into account. Beyond that, they also have all-wheel drive which can be a real holiday-saver in the case of a muddy campground or greasy boat-ramp. Land Rover's towing figures, like Holden's, are far from straightforward in the way they are presented in the company's specs sheet. They show neither kerb weight nor tare weight but another variation, which includes a notional 75kg driver and 90 per cent fuel. As a result, we only concentrated on one model to provide a general guide to the Disco range. This rigid steel tow bar is heavy duty and is ideal for towing cars and vans and is much safer than a traditional tow rope as it prevents the vehicle that is being towed running into the one in front, The tow bar comes in two sections so that it can easily be stored in the boot of your car and can be put together in minutes making it ideal for use in emergency situations.
