You want to tow a brake-equipped trailer. Where can you find details or guidelines on the permissible towable mass of your car?

To tow a brake-equipped trailer legally and safely, it is essential to know the permissible towable mass of your vehicle. This information is typically found in the registration certificate Part I of your car. This certificate provides vital details about your vehicle, including its maximum towing capacity.

While the registration certificate for the trailer could provide information about the trailer's specifications, the primary reference for determining how much weight your car can tow is the vehicle's documentation. The insurance certificate does not contain relevant towing capacity information.

Understanding this distinction is crucial, as exceeding the permissible towable mass can lead to dangerous driving conditions and legal issues. Therefore, always refer to your car's registration certificate when assessing towing limits.
