Title: The truck
Post by: 4x4 on 09 August 2014, 17:58:45
Took EMD to collect his new tintent from southport,had a good drive up there,and got the tintent,i was a bit nervous of towing a tintent but after a mile or so,got into my comfort zone and every possible thing to cope with happened,narrow bridges,lycra brigade,tractors and traffic jam on the m6,the truck took it in its stride and seemed happy towing at a steady 60 mph on the motorways,and the best bit reversed parked it into emd's drive no problem considering how tight it was lol,so truck was more than capable off towing a decent size tintent,looking forward now to getting my tintent,heres a couple of pics lol.
