Those little European trailers are clever things. I have a Brenderup
1205S with the ABS top here in the states.
Great little trailer. Good to 750 kgs I believe. Generally I load it to
about 750 lbs or less.
Tows good on the highway. Great for moving our bicycles, my tablesaw and
tools, campi
Europe restricts vehicle speeds while towing. 50 mph in the UK when
towing a caravan for example.
Here in the states very few towing restrictions in place or enforced.
I have been passed a few times by giant pickups towing a whole house at
75 mph.
Seems to me that all trailers and RVs ought

Yeah. .Americans are suckers for the ads and hearsay telling them that they
need a 3-ton truck to drive 5 mil
FYI, Tesla allowed towing on the Model 3 in EU spec vehicles. They even
had a controller for the lights so you don't need to tap.

Doubtful. Same car is tow rated in EU. Other manufacturers do the same
thing with EU cars vs US cars
I still don't understand why the Tesla-3 says no towing and the Y does with
the *same* drive train.
1. Different frame.
2. So they can justify charging more for the Y.

Hi Folks,
I know etrailers.com sells hitches for *anything* but a lawyer told me if
you get in an accident while towing and the manual says *no towing* (like
the Tesla Model 3 does), the judge will throw the book at you. That's why I
picked the Tesla Model Y that's *rated* for 3500 pounds towing
