Re: Towing Capacity. Our tow hitch and ball came from Hunstman Industries.. Surprisingly there are not that many places that sell them but then again there is not that much of a demand.
Already towed with this truck and it does it so easily. Apart from the previous owners having the gearbox (Auto) supposedly done up, I now have to get another gearbox because the gearbox was done up to run not to live. Ah well, that's life.

Re: Towing Capacity. I have a Isuzu NPR275 came with standard 3500kg rated tow pack and had it removed and an engineering company made and fitted a tow pack rated to 4500kg and they added a compliance plate and have to show in window a sticker stating 4500kg.It has a 70mm ball.

Re: Towing Capacity. I was quick to recognise that, but what brand, where is it made and size; I haven't seen one like that before.

Re: Towing Capacity. Looks nice. How about starting another thread and show us some photos. I would love to see more of it. And photos of the build if you have any.

Sid I took photo's of everything from day 1 but decided to not post photo's online as the project ran away with itself and i have ended up with moulds for everything and am contemplating manufacturing some smaller vans or selling panels in kit form for DIY or maybe selling everything i have if someone wants to go into production. I will however send a few more photo's of different angles i have taken when i return home from my xmas holiday.
