[QUOTE="Shep, post: 480658, member: 6790"] I have never liked the idea of towing something that is heavier then the tow vehicle, if I was towing 3500kg I would be looking for something that requires a LR license to drive. My own combo is around 2500kg towed by a diesel grand Cherokee and it doesnt affect the car at all even when doing 130kph overtaking road trains. I think the main thing that contributes to the stability of the outfit is the small distance from tow hitch to diff of less then 1000mm where some of the twin cabs are more then 2000mm with a short wheelbase. As for gvm issues they can be sorted, my work car has been upgraded from 3300kg to 4200kg, however expecting what is essentially a light duty Ute to work like a truck is never going to be a long term solution.
