    Just read the entire thread. .
    Think im goint to go to my insurance broker and ask his advice, and ask for a letter
    I use the jeep, terrano, and trailer occasionly, wouldnt be towing more than a ton of goods, so id be under 3500 kg. But to tow, i need a licence
    Now if i had a nissan patrol, which i was told weigghs over 2.5 ton when fully fuelled, i wouldnt pull a weanling leagally, if i had a 750kg trailer.

    Remember lads it's the design gross vehicle weight not the actual weight that needs to be under 3500kgs.

    So the terrano is probably 1800kgs and designed to be ~2200kgs gross loaded
    A builders trailer is probably 500kgs but designed to be ~2000kgs gross loaded
    So your designed gross weight is about 4200kgs so your not covered.
