B and e as long as it's under 7t.
3.5t mercedes sprinter
Electric brakes would imagine the trailer was expensive

7.5t surely ??
couldn't see it having much of a load capacity at that though ??:unsure:
my 7.5t license allows me to go to 12t gross (pre '97) from memory - used to tow with my 7.5

On that sprinter and trailer would be around 4.5t including trailer same as the pickup fifth wheel setups

What is the road tax on it? I saw one similar a few months ago when driving through Alderley Edge and out of curiosity did a tax check and was cheaper than my D4 to tax!

Edit, just looked…£200 😵‍💫
Probably comes under 'band A' hgv tax.

Car wise I'm sure anything after 2017 is 200 a year and the luxury vehicle tax on top for the first 5 years.
Been looking at discoveries and seems the d5 are all 200 ( except commercials which are £350 ISH)
