Thanx for the info. 3300 lbs is marginal for hauling a car trailer but more than enough for anything else that I do.

What's this about derating to 1500 lbs for North America? Is that due to braking? Maybe I should be looking up european specs as well .... I'm a bit paranoid so more information about how they come up with the ratings is better
