A word of caution regarding manufacturers maximum permitted trailer weight. These are maximum weights that the car can tow in a given circumstance.

Most organisations have a maximum towing ratio of 85% of the towing vehicles weight to give a stable towing combination.

Obviously the greater maximum permitted towing weight given by the manufacturer, the easier it is for the car to manage towing.

I hope that makes sense!
