    You might want ti clarify if it's the trailer nose weight or the total weight of the trailer that you're after.

    Varies according to you tow hitch....

    the vehicle (all LWB shed types after the stage 1) is capable of hauling a 4 ton trailer with a maximum 250kg downforce limit.
    However.

    Most tow packs will slice that back to 3500kg and 150kg downfoce.

    Depending on local regulations the vehicle will only be written up as able to deal with the local legal limits for the vehicles class.

    What you can tow with it is the lesser of all of the above....

    Big red is 3.5T with 250kg downforce.

    Thanks guys,

    Yes sorry - I'm interested in the maximum legal down force on the tow bar/ball/hitch, not the ATM that the vehicle can legally pull.

    D1 = 150kg
    RRC = 150kg
    D2 = 250kg (need to confirm)
    110's = ???

    Blknight - are you saying the vehicle manufacturing limit is 250kg for all 110's after stage 1 ? And why would local regulations restrict the down force on the tow bar beyond manufactures recommendation?

    cheers,
    Taz.

    Because local regulations are drawn by gullible bureaucrats, vote counting politicians, and self-serving police forces, and often bear no resemblance to reality.

    yep, even the series rovers can deal with 250kg downforce but they are only rated to 2t draw....

    the regulations change over time to reflect "aparent" safety. get a couple of idiots who dont know what they're doing that have accidents with 150kg of downforce and then they'll probabley change it to 75 KG max....

    it is based on what the manufacturers submit or plate the vehicle at.

    coroners and therefore the insurance industry go with that value and have been enforcing more diligently of late.
