So he said he rang regency park about getting it uprated only to be told nope, cant be done, so he bought a PX3 Ranger dualcab with carryboy canopy as it can handle 350kg on the ball and im thinking ok, but what about the rear axle load with the 320kg+ extras on the ball, the canopy, fuel, passengers and all the crap in the canopy.
Im thinking old mate might find himself in a touch of bother should he encounter the RTA inspectors or heaven forbid, an accident.
Why Not just make the Hitch a Bit Longer.?? & you wouldn't need Much (5-600mm) to lighten the Ball weight 30-50Kgs, i would think.
