correct, however in the discoveries a portion (or all depending on which topack you have) of the ball weight is included in the vehicle capability. In theory, this means that if you load your disco up to its nominal GVM by simply adding the approved X amount of payload you can still put a trailer on providing you dont go over the nominated included ball weight. ITs a great argument to have with whiney mitsoyotasan drivers who bitch about toball weight and load limits on their vehicles meaning they cant put all the crap in the vehicle and all the crap in the van and come up with non insurance voiding numbers....
"you cant do that you're going to be over weight on the vehicle"
nope manual says, and the numbers match
"but the axle limits will go over"
nope load transfer means the weight transfers off the front axle onto the rear providing you dont go over the GVM or included towball force
"But you cant do that, its not rated"
Says so right here, its even in the maintenance books.
"You cant do it, because I cant do it"
Just because your tow equipment poorly does not mean I have the same limits as you
"But I have a bigger heavier X with more engine and more power"
Yes and you also have fuel consumption that would have me concerned if I was driving the V8 version of the disco, but fortunately Im not
"There is no way you can tow that van with that, its not legal the van weighs so much and you need to have a weight distribition hitch which your vehice...
you get the idea.
