Well I was 100kg under on the trailer weight but 200kg+ under on the towing weight of the vehicle, so 100kg out all told and that was erring on the legal side.
Given that a passenger could weigh 100kg I was a damned sight closer than anyone else talking bullocks (his trailer is a flatbed)
Stick that up your drawbar and tug it.

Where have we established what his trailer actually weighs? We don't know what his trailer does and doesn't have on it. As I said earlier I have same trailer but 1axle less and certificate of conformity says 1070kWell I was 100kg under on the trailer weight but 200kg+ under on the towing weight of the vehicle, so 100kg out all told and that was erring on the legal side.

Not sure that certificate will give the actual unladen weight. More of a theoretical class weight.
also the weights quote will be the absolute bare minimum trailer. No head board. No spare wheel. No sides etc

13.2 actual mass of the vehicle I assume this means the trailer as I bought it with sides ladder rack and ramps. Sort of wishing id bought the ramp door

I'd take that to be the bare trailer.

My 16ft x 6’6” beaver tail is 900kg with headboard winch and ramps so don’t imagine a flat 16ftx7’4” will be much different!

So what is your towing vehicle?
He said further up the thread but not enough info to know what it’s towing capacity is it could be 3t it could be 3.5t plus he is in Southern Ireland may well be different traffic rules

We all know what the maximum trailer weight is, and that's 3500kgs
The Landcruiser concerned is probably a Colorado/Prado/90/120 or 150 series. If fairly new it might even be known as a plain Land Cruiser with the 150 code generally not publicised. All basically the same vehicle with names depending on age and area sold. Basically it's not even remotely a 'Jeep'. Jeeps are built by Fiat/ChryslerGroup and look nothing like a Land Cruiser.
Here are the towing limits, which again vary with age and model.
