    Hi all

    I have a ride on lawnmower which is 160kg and trailer which is 350kg empty

    So combined wight of 500kg or so

    I have a golf and cut lawns commercially, would pulling trailer and mower kill the golf or in particular the clutch?

    If so Im looking at buying an 07 Navara or Pathfinder

    I was wondering how come pathfinders are 2-3 cheaper than navara with same milage and age?

    Thanks all
    Noel

    The golf would be fine. I've built extensions pulling full trailers of snad using a 93 golf with over 200,000 miles on it. You dont need a jeep for every little pulling job.

    Thats only 510 kilos. That is about 82 stone weight or five fat birds in laymans terms. Haul away.

    navara has 5 seats and still commercial + i think it has a higher rated towing capacity

    Cos they're sh1te. Dont buy one, dont buy the newer type trooper either. If you're serious about a jeep, Toyota is the only way to go.
