Driving with a correctly sized trailer within the weight limits for your car will not damage your car. Cars towing an overloaded trailer, on the other hand, are both unsafe and difficult to drive. Moreover, an overloaded trailer will cause excessive wear and tear to your car, which may become a maintenance issue down the line. To make sure you purchase the right car trailer we recommend that you check our model specifications for each of our trailers where it will specify the maximum load, width and length for the trailer which you can then cross reference with your vehicle specifications.

In the UK, if you passed your test before 1st January 1997 then you can automatically tow up to 3,500kg. If you passed your test after 1st January 1997 then you will need to pass a car and trailer driving test in order to tow 3,500kg. If you passed after 1st January 1997 and you haven’t passed that test then you are limited to towing 750kg.

Every car has a towing capacity which should be shown on a specification sheet or in the vehicle handbook. The total weight of your trailer, including its load, must never exceed the towing capacity of the tow vehicle. A good rule of thumb is to stay under 80% of your max towing capacity. In the UK you can drive a car or van up to 3,500kg maximum authorised mass ( MAM ) towing a trailer of up to 750kg MAM or tow a trailer over 750kg MAM as long as the combined MAM of the trailer and towing vehicle is no more than 3,500kg.

Some trailers are braked and some are unbraked. It all depends on the model.

Every trailer has a gross capacity which is listed on the VIN plate. The total weight of the trailer, including its load, must never exceed the gross capacity of the trailer. The unladen weights of our trailers are listed on the specifications and brochures on each individual model page, however they do not include the weight of any optional extras. So, if you are close to the gross capacity of the trailer or the tow vehicle it is best to weigh the trailer and/or its load to be sure that you aren’t overloaded.
