Thanks

Don't forget that over 350kg you will need trailer brakes.

The 750kg is for the trailer itself, the vehicle it's connected to dictates the brake requirements.

For a Jimny it's 350kg, any heavier brakes are required.

I would assume a Sierra would have the same unbraked load limit.

Very true; I hadn't taken that into consideration (obviously).

Our Mazda 3 is 500kg unbraked, for instance.

Yeah Sierras and jimnys are the same. Can't tow over 350kg without brakes. Trailer regs are different to tow ratings.

My 6x4 was built to be towed by a Suzuki so has 10" electric brakes and I built it light and strong. As a bonus it is legal to 1200kg and only requires a spring change to be legal to 1600kg. Trailer weighs 220kg empty and tows awesomely and the car and trailer combo stops better then a stock car with no trailer.

I hate seeing all the non braked trailers getting towed on here.

My shorty GV rode and braked better with 1100kg of braked trailer hanging off it than it did with 300kg of unbraked box trailer on it, by far.
