white90 Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 almost certainly over the limit of what your car should tow. I'd approximate at around 1.8tonnes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landrover598 Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Probably about 1.5 ton + upto a ton for a big trailer not really a good idea with the car in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landrover598 Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 almost certainly over the limit of what your car should tow. Manufactures spec says it's 1300 KG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ101 Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Well over weight,, My old Bobtail Rangie, on the scales was 2260 kgs, Not had the hybrid on them yet, but feel is a little lighter, but only by 200kg or so, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
