Towing Down Under

There are no special add-ons, just a suitable towbar and wiring. All models are rated at 1800kgs towing provided the trailer has override brakes fitted.
 
this has been discussed before. No one seems to know why the car is rated lower in the US. Theory's are higher hyway speeds in the US for vehicles with trailers, and insurence companies. I don't know why.
 
I've read some of the towing discussions. They never seem to find an answer. So far all I can determine is the 1800kg rating requires trailer brakes. Oz doesn't have our 120 to 135 kph speed limits, but I don't HAVE to drive that fast.
