Richard does a great job trailering the R22 and has done a couple of deliveries for me at a very reasonable price.

I have a super reliable 7.3L Diesel Ford Super Duty Truck that I bought for a lot less than a SUV. I use it almost exclusively for hauling boats and the occasional farm load. It does 22 MPG unloaded and 20 MPG loaded - it hardly feels a 3500lbs load. If you just want a vehicle for hauling this should be a consideration

Alternatively, if you are relocating and/or just want an occasional haul, drop me an email and I would be happy to quote to do this for you. I have a
4 wheel Rhodes trailer for rent as well if needed.

Cheers
Richard
