Im thinking about getting a legnum and have a few questions Has anyone put a Towbar on and how much can they legally tow. Can you get rotors and pads etc in australia Cheers
Double check with your motor registry, but from my hazy memory the legal limit of towing in Oz is about 3/4 of the weight of your car, including trailer etc. And yes you will be able to get rotors and pads in australia
I've seen pictures of Legnum towing a fairly large boat, so I don't think you'll have any real problems there, maybe send an email to the guys at Kempy's in NZ about how much a second hand setup will cost.
that would be before the trailer requires its own brakes right? Id imagine if the trailer/caravan has its own brakes then it could be a lot heavier.
They get rated to 1500kg over here, but Williams big boat is well over 2 ton and he hasn't a problem with it.
Yeah sorry forgot to mention that. With brakes, I'm not sure what the limit is. I just checked it out with the RTA: With brakes you can tow up to 1.5 times the weight of an unladen vehicle (under 4.5 tonnes gvm) if the manufacturer doesn't have a specified towing limit. Without brakes it's up to the weight of the car itself (unladen again) and again, if the manufacturer doesn't have a specified towing limit. Sorry for the misinformation before...I just remembered it being not as much as a lot of people thought so I wanted to make sure Here's the link to the NSW RTA's document (remember other states can be different): http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/downloads/2005_10_towingtrailers.pdf
