HI,
could someone tell me what the max legal towing weight for an import 1986 rocky (fourtrak) is please. Nothing on the reg. sheet.........gross vehicle weight is 1680 kg. 85% of this would be 1428 kg so does that mean just under 1.5 tonne?!

It should give the max towing wt on your VIN plate. (difference between 1st wt & 2nd wt)My F78LWB tows 3.5 tonnes but it weighs almost 2 tonnes, or 2235kgs if u believe the plate so yours may tow slightly less. (kerb wt should include fuel & 75kgs for a driver). It seems to be a bit of a grey area. I've read on a couple of sites that, should u get pulled, the coppers will use your VIN plate as a guide to what u can tow. FWIW your Fourtrak will hardly notice a 1.5 tonne trailer if the engine is in good nick and the brakes are maintained.

Ah. I see from your Tyre pressure post that it's a 2Ltr petrol. Mine's a 2.8 TD. Not sure how they compare for towing, although mine's only 100 bhp so perhaps yours would tow as well as mine.
