Angel List of Cars that can tow 3.5 tonne dead weight

Land Rover Defender
Mitsubishi Shogun/ Pajero
Land Rover Discovery
Jeep Grand Cherokee
BMW X6
Isuzu Trooper
Kia Sorento
Kia Mohave
Toyota Land Cruiser
Land Rover Range Rover
Mercedes-Benz GL
Mercedes-Benz M-Class
Volkswagen Touareg
Audi Q7
Nissan Armada/Patrol



It was a UK site so GMC, Ford F150/Expedition, Caddi escalade, Hummer, etc etc are all missing but Im sure you can work out that a 5.7ltr Ford F150 Raptor might just comfortably do the job!!!!

Above list is a list from a car website of standard road vehicles tha can tow over 3.5 tonnes. The vehicles themsleves weigh 2-3 tonnes.

At the cheap end you can get a brand new Kia Sorento or Mohave for 79,000-99,000AED.

In the middle you can get a new Prado for 179,000AED or new Disco for 229,000AED at the single captain, no kids, lucky sod end of the market you can get a new Range Rover for 300,000AED and for the stupid end a Merc G wagon for 700,000AED (AMG of course!)

You can pick up very easily 2nd hand versions of these for 25% of new price if you go for 5-7 yrs old or 50% of new price for 3-5 yrs old.

If someone is going to hit you you want to be drivig one of these. G sixty is more than correct. If the banking process, powerpoint presentations or paperwork don't kill you then the next biggest threat is getting on the road.

Get some muscle! You wont regret it!
