Title: PT2-2 behind a Perentie 4x4
Post by: Budgie on August 17, 2015, 06:20:57 PM

Very quick question,
is anyone currently using a Haulmark PT2-2 coupled with their Perentie 4 x 4, I was after your opinion on performance and overall satisfaction.
Why am I asking, because I'm looking at one from auction to use (sides off) to possibly put my Ford GPW Jeep onto.

Regards
Phil

It would be cheaper to buy/build a car trailer and paint it Auscam.
I'll be painting my trailer Auscam soon.

I'll let you know soon. I'm bringing a couple back from Darwin. (http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t30/lieutenantrover/204299%201_zpsyxyy1fod.jpg)

I think you'd be over the load limit for towing on the Pintle and rear chassis.

Hi b52, do you plan to reposition the lunette ring for towing wth a Perentie?

There shouldn't be a problem. (http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t30/lieutenantrover/046_zps63f6c25c.jpg)

Thanks B52,
as mentioned there is the AUW consideration, while the trailer can take the weight of a GPW, can a Perentie 4 x 4 tow that much weight......

I've towed Perenties on a trailer with a Perentie quite comfortably so a jeep would be no problem.
