If you are looking for a proven FWD trike design that will haul stuff
about, there is a company in the US called Organic Engines
http://organicengines.com/ that has a trike they call the SUV, I have
attached some photos. It seems to have no trouble hauling big loads.
Thanks for those pictures, Henry.
I have a question about the Organic Engines SUV, that I can't resolve
by looking at the pictures (can't get it to blow up for a closer
look). It seems that the rider is sitting on the front end, in front
of the pivot BB. Is that right? Does he steer by leaning? Does anyone
know any more about the SUV?
They have a gallery page, with more photo's on the site,

I found one that had a good vantage point that was large, and have
cropped and attached it. Looking at this image, the trike appears to
have negative trail with the pivot running down the strut behind the
rider. Looks like they used rod ends for the pivot. The front end where
the rider is seated pivots, so they steer by leaning.
Maybe you should email them and ask if they would be willing to provide
you with some details.
