I had assumed that with 3500 lb tow rating would come a 350 lb hitch weight rating. Surprised to hear that it is only 300 lbs instead. That really is a limitation.
That is typical for European trailers and ratings over there. So one should be able to pull a trailer with less HW if they want too!
I would also swag, not sure if it was mentioned earlier or not, this rig in europe is probably rated to 4-5K lbs!
Frontal area, type of trailer siding, can have just as much effect on performance, which is what a trailer rating is, as weight can! 3sq ft of additional frontal area, is like adding 1000 lbs of wt to a rig.
