What your saying here I don't believe to be correct. The car can only tow a trailer rated to 1800kg MAM irrespective of the trailer being loaded or not.

It is one of the oldest MYTHS in towing with B category vehicles
There is no law which states that the MAM of a trailer cannot exceed the towing capacity
