There only ladders from the looks of it, which are light weight, and if the back is loaded up it won't be that bad tbh.

the beauty is that with these trucks...  they can take practically any load you put on them! much respect to them considering the pulling power of modern motors... |

I think you can't tow anything over 750KG unless the thing you're towing has it's own brakes. I don't think there is any rules on what cars are allowed to tow though, I don't see why an MGBGT wouldn't be capable though, especially if it's the V8 version. I saw a DB9 pulling a caravan a few years ago!

3.5 ton is the limit when towing with a car. That is the weight of the tow vehicle plus what is being towed. ie If you are towing a car on a trailer, the weight of the car + trailer + tow vehicle must not exceed 3.5 ton. So an MG with a caravan is way under the limit, most caravans these days are grp so are rather light.
Still silly though as the car must handle like curse word with that on the back. The number plate says it all ****ERR!
Cheers,
Stu.

3.5 tonne is with the trailer with brakes though surely? Most caravans don't have brakes. I'm sure it's either under weight or breaked though anyway.
