I no if u passed your test after 1997 and u want to tow a decent sized trailer u have to take a test.
not a problem.
but what is it we 70% and kerb weights ect?
What does GVW Mean?? Gross Vehicle Weight??
What does GCW mean?? Gross Cerb Weight??
says these on vin tag.
GVW-1645 KG
GCW-2375KG
AXEL 1-785KG
AXEL 2-860KG
wanting to tow a trailer of couple hundred kilos and an 800kg car so upto a tonne and a bit???
as long as the car is capable and the total weight does not exceed 3.5 tonnes you can tow 750kg.
not sure on vin off top of my head.
the axel weights will be the amount of weight that can be loaded in total over each axel. ie you may have 800kg in car but if its all over xel 1 its over loaded, basically needs to be spread.
