err can some of the the gvw be transsfered to tow weight

in other words if carrying full weight, then tow weight goes up.

after all same weight for the engine and box to move.

whats the kerb weight, take that off gross, get max load,

then add that to 1700, surely same as tugging 1700 and
carrying part of the load in the car. again provide gross train
weight isnt exceeded.

kerb of an auto might be up on a manual as slush box heavier
typically, think my lwb t2 was around 1800kg kerb weight
as that would give max load in car of 700 or so.

worth playing with maths if can keep car fairly empty, guess
depends how much tack? you would carry overall.
