Towing a 3 tonne caravan - WDH

[Cheshire cat]

An internet search says not use this when towing. Not specific to the IG though.

As far as I am aware, in the UK, the receiver can only be used if the vehicle is N1 class. M1 are not technically allowed to use a receiver hitch even though the towbar is identical.

I'm not sure that that is correct. In the UK (or more accurately UK and ECE) the towing equipment must be Type Approved and this is now the case for both M1 and N1. If the receiver system has been through the TA process it can be used but I don't think it has (it will have TA markings if it has). If not then one a vehicle as recent as the Grenadier you could not legally use the receiver for towing on an type of Grenadier.

On the ford website you can buy this for a ranger in the UK. It does appear to have a sticker.
