By my reading of this (P.3, “Vehicle Masses”) I have a GCM of 4245kg for my ute, unless a WDH is fitted, which then adds a further 630kg.
Obviously, that would be working a 20 year old ute pretty hard! What I’m mostly looking at, is ensuring that my towing is nominally compliant and therefore not voiding insurance. Likely errands include taking any of the project cars around the traps for glazing, welding or straightening; resulting ATMs should fall below that “2300kg” figure cited by Ford when using a WDH.
That said, it would look odd to see a Falcon ute towing another Falcon ute on a trailer.  |
The 2.3t kit is a different towbar to the std 1.6t towbar. It's not the 1.6t bar plus wdh = 2.3t. WDH is not compatible with the 1.6t tow bar.
Not sure if that's what you meant but just to clear that up.
Many car carrying trailers are up around 700kg which does limit the payload somewhat.
