Bill - FYI
The vehicle he used to tow was a Land Rover which has a rated tow rate of 4 ton with the correct coupling (pin and tow eye) 3.5 ton with a conventional 50mm ball coupling. So there is no issue with weight. Car trailer no more than 0.5 ton and car could not be 3 ton, even if it was it would still be within the towing capacity of the vehicle.
So in fact he had the best rated tow vehicle for the load he was carrying.
