Towbar fitting

[Sunnysidebb]

IMO you have the best towing vehicle that you could want. I had a MK2 transit for 15 years. Took the 2.4 York out after putting up with it for years and put the more modern 2.5 in it ( back in 1994) and never looked back. I loved my old transit......but it had to go in the end. I'd have another MK 2 tomorrow if the reason arose to have another transit, trouble is there getting very old and need huge amounts of welding usually.

Mines only done 13,000 miles from new no welding needed or ever done
It was 4 speed petrol I converted it to 5 speed to transit di Turbo diesel and used a manual pump as It should run ecu etc binned all that rubbish and its a rare 4x4 but its on eBay as rarely gets used
But it s a beautiful I imported etc from Germany myself direct from the German fire dept

Martin from Reyland had one fitted to his old escos and set the world top speed towing record at the time .

Thats what I was thinking, it would have to go on the rear valance x member and tbh there not all that substantial.
Do ford quote a max towing weight for the ESCOS and is it officially acknowledge by Ford that it can be fitted with a tow bar ( thinking about testing etc). If not insurance could be a problem

Escos is not approved whit towbar, from Ford

True, but I'm pretty sure that didnt have the original fuel tank fitted

I think its a good idea myself!... You could also fit a wabasto sunroof & chrome bumpers to make it really stand out from the rest!...
