I do not know where you are getting your info but that is 100% legally incorrect There is no law or rule which states that the trailer plated MAM cannot exceed the towing capacity There is no law or rule which states that the total MAMs of the combination cannot exceed the GTW GVW MAM MTPLM all refer to the maximum weight something can legally be if fully laden Towing capacity and GTW refer to actual weights This example is 100% legal .... on a B+E licence because 2500+3500=6000 is well over the B licence limit of 3500 Vehicle GVW 2500 GTW 4000 Towing capacity 2000 Trailer MAM 3500 Load vehicle to actual weight of 2000 Load trailer to actual weight of 2000 no laws have been broken in that example Last edited: Sep 3, 2014
