Needing a car that is powerful and strong, is rare. But if you are a handyman trader, needing to take away large and heavy bits of trash from a home you’re redecorating, then you’ll need a vehicle which you can double as a hauling transporter.

If you work in an industrial environment, having a car that can do a bit of the heavy lifting is vital to make your day go smoother and without hiccups. Working as a farmer, having a car that can go anywhere and transport just about anything you need, is invaluable. All of these needs come with a price and it will be that you need a large car that is heavy, takes extra skill to drive and uses a powerful engine. The question is, do you want a true large off-roader or  a vehicle you can commute in and still use for haulage purposes?

The farmer’s workhorse

Farmers need a car that will traverse across slippy hills and roads. It rains quite a lot in the countryside, so you need to have a car which won’t become difficult to handle when you are fighting for grip. A used land rover will do the trick. Take a look at the Land Rover Range Rover Autobiography, one of the best commercial off-road vehicles ever made. It has an adaptive and A.I.-assisted learning computer, so it will adapt to your driving habits as per your location. It’s the best workhorse on the market, especially with that awesome 5.0-litre engine. Producing well over 500 ft-lbs of torque, you have a maximum towing capacity of 3.5 tons. That’s great for moving horses in their portable homes, moving heavy pieces of farming equipment such as fences, wheelbarrows, chicken coops, sheds and heavy metal gates. It’s also automatic, so you don’t need to worry about changing gears while driving through dangerous conditions such as during a flood. However, you do have sequential paddle shifts if you need to use a specific gear.

A saloon that can

Many executive cars are given power for performance, while others are given power for practical reasons. The Audi A6 is one of the latter as it can tow an impressive 2.5 tons. If you work in an industrial environment such as a scrap yard, manufacturing facility, storage warehouse or in a port, this kind of vehicle is incredibly useful. With its large body and impressive boot, you can haul medium-sized items just as well as giving 5 adults enough room to sit comfortably. Using the latest German turbo technology, the 3.0-litre turbo diesel produces a reasonable 309bhp but a stunning 479 ft-lbs of torque.. This is amazing for such a small displacement and shows how far turbo V6 engines have come. At 2,500rpm the turbo comes in to help and at 4,500rpm you are being given maximum towing
