on a car license?

Have been trying to work out whether a 4x4 + trailer or something like the above would be better for me. I need to pass trailer test if I go for 4x4 + trailer option...

It depends when you passed your test, if it was after a certain year ( sorry can't remember which )you can only drive up to 3.5 tons like the lorry you have posted. if it was before you can drive up to 7.5 ton, also if you passed your test after the year above then you will have to take a trailer test. I’m sure someone will know the year though. hope this has been of some help!.

Yip Im pretty sure you can , when did you pass your test ?

yes

yes you can, but bear in mind that with only 1200kg payload, if you put 2 horses in it, you will have absolutely nothing left for tack, water, hay, people, stuff etc without being overweight. These vans are fine if you only have one horse.

In all honesty the price of these is ridiculous becuase there is a lot of demand for people like yourself. If you spend the money on your test you'll be able to get much better value for money on a larger lorry with no worries about space or weight.

My daughter is 27 and took her test as soon as she could and she has had to get a prov. licence for 7.5 tons and we have to be with her until she can afford to take her test. So if you are 27 or younger then ,no.
Sorry didn't click on the link , if it is up to 3.5 ton then yes [ I thought it would be a 7.5 you were asking about] but make sure you never weigh over 3.5 ton fully laden.

I passed my test in '98. Hence I know I need to do trailer test
