The last tow job ny Pajero performed was to collect my wifes overheated Freelander V6 from 30 miles away. The Freelander is the heaviest one they made at 1550 Kg's and the trailer it sat on was 950 Kg's so 2500 all up. The Pajero weighs in at 2100 so that makes a train weight of 4.6 Tonnes!! Good job my licence is an old one or I'd be in the doodoo. Oddly the Pajero is only rated to tow 1800 Kg's?? Oops.
