Are u trying for a weight to.be under?
Are u trying for a weight to.be under?
including trailer and 100lt lt of fuel is 4.3t
Towed by a 2500 petrol ram, payload of which is 1340kg. with a 4.5t rating 70m hitch, tri axle GFAB trailer.
it will be a big boat for sure. but we have done a fair amount to weigh it correctly and have the weight where we want it
few more progress photos
I’m wondering what is the go with down rating a Dodge Ram 2500 to only 4.5 T?

Sorry mate not sure I follow

Down rating the ram to 4.5t ??
Ok, can see them now.
That would be so it can be driven on a normal Class c ( car) licence. Anything over 4.5 tonne GVM ( not towing (BTC) capacity) needs to up to the lower class of truck licence.So they de-rated the 2500 from what it would carry, for example, in the US. Don't confuse GVM and BTC. I see they are now going to bring the Ram 3500 into Austrlia. Not one article I saw about it thought to point out that you won't be driving it on a car licence. And they have exactly ( in Australia) the same towing limit as the 2500, ( 4.5 tonne on 70mm ball, 8 tonne on gooseneck) but with a larger payload ( so GCM is up)

And $170k and a MASSIVE shed, but I spose if you have an 8+ metre boat, you probably have those [emoji1]

Yes correct. Our client has opted for the Petrol 2500 which has a higher payload. allowing a larger capacity on the towball (450kg) and still comfortably have people in the car without exceeding GCM. but yes they their medium rigid
im actually going for my medium rigid soon. any tips ??
MR is relatively easy enough to get, just do what's required in your state, or use a truck driving school.
thanks..great photo time line of the build.....just waiting for the pictures of the barbettes and armour plating.......
so she has a hat!
Hardtop is making its way onto the superstructure today
they have an MR licence but still opted to down rate the tow vehicle by nearly half? Was that a registration cost saving decision or similar?Yes correct.
