The Land Rover 101 inch FC had a powered trailer setup that from what
I've read was a lot of work for little extra out put. They were prone
to problems. I'd be more interested in a 5 ton that was set up in an
8x8 configuration (Super singles and 2 front axles) and a cab over or
forward setup for extra bed or cab space and load capacity.
