sounds like you want a landrovr discovery a rangerover or transit van for that size and weight.paul

can a transit pull 3 ton?

No. I think they have a train weight of about 3.5 tonnes (an Omega is higher at around 4). Subtract the weight of the van and its' load and it won't pull 3 tonnes.

In any case, I wouldn't tow anything with a van unless the van itself was well loaded.

A Disco can tow 3.5 tonnes, IIRC, so that might be an option.

Ime transits can barely manage on their own if empty, and great fun a hand full in the wet, add in a pikey palace on the back and must be looking at an easy jack knife...?

You must have driven some seriously knackered vans!
Any healthy turbo Transit has no problem pulling lots of weight, but you do go through brakes pretty quickly.

Hire vans mostly, all very scitish when empty. As expected given the designed load capacity...
