as most of you will know and do, we pull trailers of any size with a pickup, jeep, or big van. what most wont know is that it is illegal to pull a trailer over 2.3m (7ft 6) wide if the MGVW is less than 3500kg, regardless if you can see down the side of your trailer,caravanetc so pulling a hobby 650 (8ft 2 wide) with a navara pickup is out of the question and is a court case if you get caught this is total bollocks if you ask me petitions.pm.gov.uk/towing-width-lawTHIS IS A REAL GOVERMENT PETITION sign the petition and tell everyone elseto do the same, friends, neighbours, relatives, complete strangers it effects us all and will make our lives easier if it goes through. |

I cannot see any problem with the current legislation. Seems adequate enough to me. I suppose i might think different if i got caught out with buying a caravan that is too wide for my tow car, for legal use on UK roads.  |

Hi I tow a rib behind my Navara and it is over 2.3 m wide which is ok if the trailer is 2.3 m wide the rib (load) can be + 305 mm per side BP |

hi bp
unfortunatley it aplies to the load also. even if the trailer is legal, the load may not be!
its stupid, i tow a wide load and use mirror extenders so i can see. i dont know what the problem is, but its ok for a regular caravaner to pull their caravan with mirror extenders on!
