Always thought pickups make poor towing vehicles as there is very little weight over the back end to begin with same reason they're quite poor offroad if its greasy or damp.No outside
Not sure you've calculated that right.Hi lux weighs over a tonne so doe's the trailer that only leaves less than 1 and a half tonnes of the load. 2 cull cows and a finnished heifer may well have been considerably more than that. My take is that you were overloaded that time

They should show that video on the trailer test.
Surprised the Duck didn’t pick up on it in his reply but the weight of the towing vehicle has no relevance to calculating the weight that can be pulled. Newer hi luxs are rated at 3.5 tons, that’s 3.5 tons trailer and load, it doesn’t include the weight of the towing vehicle.Hi lux weighs over a tonne so doe's the trailer that only leaves less than 1 and a half tonnes of the load. 2 cull cows and a finnished heifer may well have been considerably more than that.

3.5 tonnes Max is the gross weight of the vehicle, trailer and load or maximum authorised mass (MAM) as they call it. https://www.gov.uk/towing-with-car/weight-and-width-limits It is something you get asked if you take a trailer test The police are often wrong when they pull you in as it's a complicated area but you will get a definate ruling if you have an accident and end up in front of the magistrates

As others have said that weight at that speed downhill is the cause. My rule is uphill foot down and give her all she got. Downhill it’s back off in good time and steady away. I would also suggest checking trailer tyre pressures are even and up to spec.2 cull cows and a fat heifer so very close to legal weight limit and probably 50 -55 mph down hill on A38T
You are quite wrong. Very much wrong. The HiLux weighs about two tons near enough. Probably a bit more with two people and a full tank of fuel aboard. The latest ones are rated to tow 3.5 tons officially.3.5 tonnes Max is the gross weight of the vehicle, trailer and load or maximum authorised mass (MAM) as they call it. https://www.gov.uk/towing-with-car/weight-and-width-limits It is something you get asked if you take a trailer test The police are often wrong when they pull you in as it's a complicated area but you will get a definate ruling if you have an accident and end up in front of the magistrates
I didn't mention it because it is irrelevant to the towing capacity except for the quoted weight of the HiLux as a ton being a 100% underestimate.Surprised the Duck didn’t pick up on it in his reply but the weight of the towing vehicle has no relevance to calculating the weight that can be pulled.

I see you have replied again whilst I was posting but I’m convinced you are wrong including the weight of the towing vehicle.
I’m just surprised you didn’t point out to the previous poster that they’d got it wrong including the weight of the towing vehicle.I didn't mention it because it is irrelevant to the towing capacity except for the quoted weight of the HiLux as a ton being a 100% underestimate.
The towing vehicle weight is relevant though when it comes to calculating how much you can carry in the tray as well as the trailer, because more often than not the carrying capacity is much reduced when towing the maximum trailer weight. The MAM of the combination is likely to be exceeded for the majority of pickups.
There's a limit to how much 'wrong' people can tolerate.I’m just surprised you didn’t point out to the previous poster that they’d got it wrong including the weight of the towing vehicle.

2 cows at say 1400 kg, hefier at 600 that is only 2000kg plus trailer, say 1200kg, all well under 3500kg, I'm assuming the hi lux can tow 3500kgHi lux weighs over a tonne so doe's the trailer that only leaves less than 1 and a half tonnes of the load. 2 cull cows and a finnished heifer may well have been considerably more than that.
