its the combined weight of van and cargo i.e 260 = 2.6ton, you will need a t300 or t350 i think mate and both are better as they are rwd not fwd like the t260 t280 models

The payload on a 260 is surprisingly poor, especially if driver and mate have been at the pies. We had one go overweight with 2 joiners, their toolboxes, and two boxes of nails.

Out of interest, anyone know whether you'd be allowed to tow a track car and trailer with a transit connect swb? I've seen people do it with the smaller vans but wonder about the legalities?

Mmm, not sure tbh, I was right on the limit towing my sierra with my 350 transit so can't see how a connect would be ok? but I'm sure someone on here will know for sure
