With 3100kg empty, it might be an issue in Europe as standard driving license are for a max total weight of 3500kg for the complete vehicle.
In Belgium, this limit also includes trailer so it can't even pull the smallest trailers without requiring a truck driving license.
And if it's registered as a truck, it can't go above 90km/h...
- FloatArtifact 3y agoWhy such strict limits on small trailers?
- whynotmaybe 3y agoSomeone, sometime ago decided that a vehicle above 3500kg might have a different behaviour on the road than those under so they decided that to manage a "heavy" vehicle, you had to have special training and a special license. In Belgium, they decided that this limit is the same with or without a trailer so a standard car of 1600kg cannot pull a 2000kg trailer. And someone with a standard license cannot drive a car that weights more than 3500kg. And if you have a car that weights 3100kg, add the driver and passengers, that doesn't leave much room for a trailer. And that's also why there aren't many fifth wheel trailers in Europe.
