A maximum speed of 100 km/h
(62 mph) must not be exceeded, even

important considerations that have to
do with weight:
The weight of the trailer.
The weight of the trailer tongue.
The total weight on your vehicle's
tyres.
Weight of the Trailer
How heavy can a trailer safely be?
It depends on how the rig is used. For
example, speed, altitude, road grades,
outside temperature, and how much
the vehicle is used to pull a trailer are
all important. It can depend on any
special equipment on the vehicle, and
the amount of tongue weight the
vehicle can carry. See Weight of the
Trailer Tongue later in this section.
Use the following chart to determine
how much the vehicle can weigh,
based upon the vehicle model and
options.
