[QUOTE="condor22, post: 613504, member: 1932"] I guess my setup highlights the difference between what you are allowed to tow and what you actually have. Although my <1800kg van is only 60% of the allowed 3000kg tow load, my other loads put the tug within 2-3% of GVM and the van at 1-2% of ATM even though GCM is nowhere near its limit. :) In other words its not just one criterion, they all need to be addressed. I do know one biggy for truckies is axle load. The actual load may be well within all other overall limits, but exceed axle load if not placed in the best place to distribute load. This also, to a lesser degree, needs to be considered on our smaller setups. [/QUOTE]
