Well actually no - it is a Ford PSA engine fitted in various guises to Peugots, Citroens, Jaguars, Landrovers, and the Territory.

Why? Isn't a semi 8t pulling 30t? As long as it's balanced correctly and you have suitable brakes on the car AND on the trailer.... a lot of work goes on at the manufacturer to sign off on those figures. What I wonder is how many people actually know how much they are really towing and if the tow ball down load is set correctly.

I wonder why the Ford F trucks didn't make the list?

My post was to open ended , I agree if things are set up right their is really no problem with posted weights , things like Prime Movers , 5,th Wheelers etc are a different combination to a vehicle with a tow bar stuck out the back .
