My buddy bought an Old Range rover (i think, one of the big old 4dr land rovers) not sure on the year but its got round headlights....anyways, whats the approx weight on one of these things....i was wondering if my Expedition could handle it for the 100mi trip home or if i need to feed the duallly and take it.

I don't know exactly but they are fairly heavy. That being said, the bigger the tow vehicle the easier the trip.

Except on the pocket book lol. My 1 ton gets 6, the expy would get about 11 pry on the trip, but i guess ill take the dually and be on the safe side, i know my dually handled my Expedition like nothing, and i dont imagine it would be to much heaiver then that.

If you can't go through it or around it, then go over it.
the expy would safely handle it. there is no way those weigh more than an FJ80 and those come in at 5900. is it the regular SUV looking one, a 4 door, 2 door, or the jeep looking one?

aren't expeditions rated to tow up to 10,000lbs? or maybe it was 10,000GVWR.. either way you'll be fine

I think its rated for like 8000lbs (well, 7800 or something to be exact). 5.4/E4OD.

I didnt know they were that light, i just seen them before and they looked heavy as hell lol.
