   OK, not everything in NZ makes sense. There is a 750kg limit on towing with an unbraked trailer on most (if not all vehicles), BUT the law is not enforced. What this means in the real world is hard...

   Also check the rating on the towbar ....they aren't al created equal . And the way they are mounted to unibody vehicles can be dubious at best... Seen so many with broken arse "chassis" from trying...

   Yep pretty much 750KG is the limit unbraked. Our caravan is loaded 1540KG and I know it is as we weighed it in early Dec but after looking at some Ozzie vans they are too close to the limit for my...

   It's correct that it's an ADR requirement - this is the issue as the towing vehicle requirements are the ADR spec as manufacturer's original equipment for the towbar and manufacturer's design towing...

   NZ is one of the few countries where vehicle/towbar ratings don't line up with trailer weight braking rules. It was on the hit list with NZTA a while back & I attended a two day meeting with key...

    Hopefully they'll include standard trailer light plugs as part of the WoF for any vehicle with a towbar. The number or cars and/or trailers out there with incorrect wiring is ridiculous.

    Subaru florists...not recommended for towing. Trailer must be less than 150% weight of tow vechille. 90 KMPH maximum speed. It's why lots of folks have a old heavy wagon for towing n bugger all else.
