HS + EV towbar dowload australian spec

[Yogi]

I have just finished installing a genuine towbar to my HS+EV (part number 716600072HSEV) and noticed that the towbar tongue sticker only has a download rating of 75kg next to the max unbraked capacity of 750kg.... The max braked capacity of 1500kg has no download rating next to it. We normally assume 10% here in aus but i dont want to guess that 150kg download should be alright. Has anyone been down this path before?

I would guess that 75kg down force applies braked or unbraked.

Looks like that could be the case ; if it's only 75kg then 1500kg max is not a possibility. I did see in the fitting instructions that the 75kg figure has an asterisk next to it ~ refer to owners manual / manufacturer for download max spec
