Trailers over 3500 kgs plated MAM weight come under different rules which is why all the trailers towed by B class vehicles , those of 3.5 tonnes and under, are not plated at more than 3500 kgs or 3.5 tonnes MAM
There is no law that states a B category vehicle cannot tow a trailer over 3500 MAM but the legal requirements for the trailer make it virtually impossible for a B class vehicle to do so
My guess would be something like air brakes for the trailer is required but that is a guess
