I've been driving an Ifor Williams trailer but my horse is hating the ride and arriving at our destinations in a sweaty distressed state, so I'm buying a 3.5t box hoping she and her companion will travel better. The box will be a 3.5t upgraded to 3.9t so I can travel two.
I currently use a 3.5l Shogan 4x4 to haul the trailer up the steep hills here. Most 3.5t boxes are on 2.2l diesel vans - Can they manage steep hills? Does anyone drive similar and do you manage okay? I'm worried about being stuck part way up a hill with 2 horses on board and traffic backing up behind!
