The Feroza F300 engine is strong and reliable, as is the gearbox but the clutch is weak for towing… i have already replaced my clutch plates 3 times: each occasion was due to towing jet skis or my boat on either sand or up a short/steep ramp/driveway/slipway.
I need to replace it again after towing a 3 ton truck 50 meters on a very slight inclination (impossible for 2 guys to push the truck!) just to bump start the truck!
On the beach, during a cyclone, i dramatically lowered my feroza tyre pressure to tow 6 jet-ski trailers out of the water and 50 meters up a sandy beach (one at a time!) I could smell the clutch plates burning from the 2nd pull 
Mines a '93 F300 with 280,000km on the clock and still running, but i have finally pulled her off the road to fit new rings and a reconditioned cylinder head due to slightly low compression. My original head needs skimming due to corrosion pits between the cylinders ( a reconditioned head from Greece was cheaper / more reliable) than sending to any engineering shop in Fiji ).
