Trailer size for towing GQ Patrol

[datsun_1600]

Hi guys,

Apologies if this has been asked previously (i'm sure it must have been) - I couldn't find much using the search tool.

I'm looking at buying a Patrol with a blown engine as a long term / fix up/ restore type project. I'll need to tow it home if I decide to buy it. It's a 7 seater GQ. What size trailer would I need to tow this vehicle with ? I can get a 15x6 one easy enough, but i'm not sure if it will fit....

Thanks in advance,
Jeff

Put slightly more weight fore than aft. 4.9m long 1900mm wide. approx (I am not sure, have put over scales and now can not remember.) 2500 depending on accessories.

Pay Load (kg) 1311

So going by the wheel base you should get it on a 4.5m trailer
