Default Towing limits?
Thinking of trailering the Saff to Brunters in a couple of weeks, don't trust it to get there and back as well as a track session.

Been offered a trailer that is 400kg + the saff. Got the use of a mates car to tow it if need be but the limit of the car is 1300kg, am i fucked?

Road cars are usually around 1100-1300kg on their own.

4x4 or MPV to pull it with would be your best option.
