Towing a Trailer

primarily to carry passengers and
their luggage. You can use it to tow a
trailer if you carefully observe the
load limits, use the proper equipment,
and follow the guidelines in this

Load Limits
The total weight of the trailer and
towbar (with/without brakes) plus
its luggage must not exceed the
maximum towing weight. See page
511 .
The ''trailer nose load'' should
never exceed 75 kg (165 lbs)/
60 kg (132 lbs) on Australian
model. This is the amount of
weight the trailer puts on the
towbar when it is fully-loaded. For
a trailer weight of less than 750 kg
(1,653 lbs)/600 kg (1,323 lbs) on
Australian model, as a rule of
thumb, the trailer nose load
should be 10 percent of the total
trailer package.
