All of the RVs shown in the photos are likely under 10000 lbs. The tractor has no loader or backhoe, again maybe 10000 lbs tops. The sailboat is big, but sailboats are not heavy. The reason that the lower powered trucks tow those loads fine is that they are light. We have lots of Isuzu cabovers around here, and landscapers use them to haul yard waste and tow enclosed trailers. You see them grinding up 5-6% grades at 40 mph.
Answer is NO. IVECO tows roughly 20,000lbs . There is a 36ft US 5th Wheeler and Older Carriage 5th Wheeler with a Smart car. How you get less than 10,000lbs out of that is beyond me..:hA Yacht of that size is about 5-6 tons, 10-12,000lbs. From memory the top photo of of a 5ver the owner quoted 19,000lb for the rig, could have been heavier
Current IVECO 70c has a GCVWR of 23,750lbs.
Isuzu Cabovers in the US are ultralight Trucks, used for local deliveries. No Large Isuzu’s exist in the US
The Carriage Cameo 2007 model had a GVWR of slightly over 16,000lbs add a Smart Car?
I would strongly suggest reader researching the weights of the vehicles before you post about them
