WispMan Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 What is the declared kerbweight of the car? And what is the manufacturers max tow limit as shown on the V5? Caravan Club recommend a max of 85% of kerbweight assuming this below max tow limit. But others do tow above this 85% limit. You should check on whattowcar. com but it looks like your car has a kerbweight of about 1470kgs.
