Looks like they're doing the tracking with the car set low in access mode. Confused

might be for specialist off road recovery going by the graphics

Hard to tell from the small picture though. Any more or larger pics?

Alas no more pictures, as I felt slightly uncomfortable taking that one. As for the signage is was partial, and the rear door looks slightly different shade...

is this something like the winch

just noticed the extra heavy duty lower mounting bars, maybe something clips onto that , indeed bit difficult to see ??

Yes, thats a similar winch. The truck also has two tow bars out the front. which look like they are linked back to the chassis by 4" box section. Full set of flashing lights on the grill area and the rack on top...

Saw a TV show where they used a disco to maneuver a static caravan into position with it connected to the front so maybe that?

Good call Mole734, but would't a single tow bar front and central to the vehicle be a better option? The debate goes on, until the owner sheds some light...
