What towing vehicle and trailer do you have?

[Landcruiser]

What is your current towing vehicle - Mitsibushi L200 double cab Warrior 2005 plate
Rate it out of 10 - 8. It's a basic model - it needs more storage in the cab for bits and pieces. It's slightly underpowered in comparison to previous tow vehicles I've had (Isuzu Trooper, Toyota Landcruiser). I love the pick up design though, I have a hard cover and have managed to sleep in the back at events as long as I'm diagonal . That said, the pay off is that the whole outfit is very long, and the rear visibility is totally reliant on wingmirrors (none heated in this model).
What is your current trailer - Wessex Clubman. It's similar to the old 505 but I think better. Front and rear ramp have a single lever to open and lock. Partition is sectional and can be removed in pieces very quickly and easily. It's light and airy, and easily converts to my camp bedroom when I'm away at weekend events with horse - I can't fault it.
Rate it out of 10 - 10
1 or 2 horses carried in trailer - 1, partition out (I had full length breach bars made, which are customised 505 ones)
Towing on a B or B+E licence - B + E, passed test in 78

Towing on a B or B+E licence -

When I had horses I used to tow with a Diahatsu fourtrack - 10/10 towing ability, got out of seriously muddy fields towing 2 and leaving X5's slithering in the mud - never got stuck and a powerhouse of torque.

Trailer - good old Ifor 510 often carried 2 10/10 never let us down either - just don't ever park it with the handbrake on

I'm old so towing on pre 97 licence...

Tow with a Jeep Compass 2013 plate. Tow capacity of 2000kgs so only ever tow one smallish horse in an Ifor 506 so plenty of weight left over. Tows like a dream and is more car like than my old Cherokee. Have got through some serious mud with a trailer on and some deep snow with just the Jeep. Drive on a B+E licence, if that's the one for us oldies. Passed car test in 1977. Would rate it as an 8 out of 10, would like a roomier boot for tack.

I posted in this thread in 2012 but I've changed by towing vehicle since then so here's the update:

SsangYong Rexton 2018 2.2 Auto - 10/10 (bought 2.5 years ago to replace 2008 Kia Sorento) Much cheaper road tax compared to Sorento and newer hence more up to date and more extras.

Ifor Williams HB511 (2008) - 10/10 owned for nearly 11 years and have travelled two 17hh horses comfortably. I've managed to break a few of the plastic fittings over the years but spares are cheap and easy to buy and fit.

Can't fault it as towing combination. I loved my Kia Sorento and the SsangYong Rexton is just as good for towing (both tow 3.5 tonnes). The Rexton is 7 seater which I don't need but it gives you a massive boot space.

Range Rover and Equitrek show treka . Love my Equitrek and all the extra lockers and living so I don't have to fill up the boot of my car now

What is your current towing vehicle - VW Tiguan 2.0l diesel (2012)
Rate it out of 10 - 10 really happy with it towing, enough space and no issues doing all the hills round here

What is your current trailer - Ifor Williams 505
Rate it out of 10 - 8 - only as I wish I had got a 510 for a bit extra room and the haynet placement is a bit awkward

1 or 2 horses carried in trailer - 1 15.1 TB

Towing on a B or B+E licence - B+E (was going to just tow on a B license but got the GVW of the Tiguan wrong so did the test!)
