Jeep or van towing capacities

I have been where you are now, we have a lwb transit which has a 5500kg mam, we were running too close to this to be comfortable. We have a landrover discovery but really need a van for work. We ended buying a 35C150 Iveco Daily 7000kg mam, this is a twin rear wheel van which is N1 so a std driving licence does the trick. Iveco is 3 ltr engine. its similar to the transit on fuel but is a bigger wagon. I say you find a big difference from the Nissan to be honest. Twin wheel N1 vans are hard to find I was 18 months looking for the one we got.

No, I got an irish one, seems the twin wheel model is popular with the spud lads in Wexford, Gethings garage over there are the main Dealer.

the 3.5 N1 van I was told by a mechanic for Gethings is a 5 ton van de-rated so over engineered for what it is. I didn't check but I think the twin wheel transits have a lower Mam. Iveco is a heavy van so not a lot of leeway if you need to put a load in it as well, Ours weighs in about 2.6 ton with a handy few bit on board so 900kg in the back and 3500 total on tow.

Unless you are already doing RSA 12 week checks etc for C1 licence then make sure you get the N1 3500 kg one driven on B licence and makes life a lot easier,

here is Parkers review on Iveco worth a read.

I’d think the poster means a BE license is sufficient and not a C or CE.

Have to do the test, just wondering what is the typical actions you are asked to complete in the test

I used a mercedes 311 cdi,
