That unladen weight on the Matador is 9.4 long tons. Does that mean it has a permanent gen set etc on the back?

What do you reckon the overall weight of these combinations are and what sort of MPG do they get?

I have the Oxford model of the Cargo. They even got the wheels right! I normally prefer the heavier Ford Cargo with 10 stud split rim wheels but this is a fine exception. Glad I clicked.

The Matador is doing a triple tow. Not sure thats legal. Thought double tow only. I know it won't go above 25mph, but length and turning circle are dangerous. Imagine a driver goes to overtake what he thinks is 20m long to find it's double that.
@StrikerHarris5 жыл бұрын
A Showmans Road Locomotive is legally entitled to tow 3 trailers up to a length of 85 feet. Which is just more than this load is. If it wasn't legal,we wouldn't be doing it, certainly wouldn't be advertising it online.
