Can you get something like this for the navara

My amorak sits low at back with 800 kg tools in back and 3.5-4 ton on hitch lol

Had it at 7400kg on weigh bridge at tarmac plant with tipper on back and “2 ton” of asphalt on

Fencer I know has his navara on heavier springs and that's chock full of tools in the back and tows the post knocker around on the back, says that the old man emu springs he fitted made a massive difference. All in all pretty impressed with the Navara but will be better once the auto gear box adjusts to heavy towing.

Anyways, all this talk of nose weight. Doesn't extra nose weight allow you to carry more as you are imposing the weight onto the vehicle, therefore increasing your trailer's carry capacity?

Absolutely. Most certainly. And because my Navara can take a ton in the bed I can technically have 4.5 ton on the trailer as long as a ton is on the hitch- ace isn't it

Sure there was a bloke on arbtalk a few years ago who fancied himself as a bit of a towing guru. Made a case for the "applied load" principle but nevertheless not sure VOSA would see it that way sadly!

Long Wheelbase part loaded RWD van with a towing diff will piss all over any 4WD/SUV for ON road towing duties in a forward direction.

But isnt that the same as a pickup in RWD with a bit of weight in the back?

Same but let's move on quickly before Rory arrives

A weighted tipper is 3.5t a pickup is nearly 1t less. In general the heavier the vehicle the better towing experience. All pickups no matter how powerful tend to let the tail wag the dog. Plus most pickups are designed as hand bag motors now, the gearing of a tipper is way better.
