Just wondering about the justifications for vehicle towing limits. Last week I took a couple of steers in with my Freelander 2 and IW trailer. To be honest I was probably (!) close to the limit as it has a towing capacity of 2 tons.
However it went like a dream, I hardly noticed the trailer, plenty of pull and braking. It amazes me that I can legally tow 3 1/2 tons with a clapped out Series 3 Landrover, but only 2 tons with a modern Freelander. Who decides these capacities?
