One that pulls way more than 2 tonne. SWB Iveco would be my choice.
The trailer you reference (TT2515) has an unladen weight of approx 750KG and gross weight of 2700KG - would suggest a heavy duty ie rear wheel drive van would be more suited to this if often running at full weight. 750kg of 'dead weight' pulling away is a severe test on a front wheel drive clutch and vivaro and trafic gearboxes and clutches are known to be not very heavy duty at all.
Second Ivecos - I used to run one of the older generation ones, a heavyweight twin wheel version and it often (and legally) towed 3 tons without issue.
Cheers for that, can you get a smaller Iveco as not wanting massive van? Usually would be just putting over tonne in it for picking up materials or more tonnage be handy right enough.
A SWB iveco is only slightly larger than a swb transit.
Look at loads on rear axle as well. Suspect if your carrying much weight in the van, you'll be maxing the rear axle load on a vivaro to capacity with a badly loaded trailer.
Also, (and likely wrong!), but in the back of my mind I thought there was something about the vehicle had to be rated capable for the max trailer rating.
