I'm pretty sure you can have up to 750kgs braked...

This is what the DVLA says about cat B licences and towing:

Category B - if you passed your test on or after 1 January 1997
You can drive vehicles up to 3,500kg MAM with up to 8 passenger seats (with a trailer up to 750kg).

You can also tow heavier trailers if the total MAM of the vehicle and trailer isn’t more than 3,500kg.

Hope this clears up the confusion.

My husband passed his test last year, there are different guidelines I think about that, maximum being 3500kg. It's crazy, I passed my test pre 1997 and can drive loads of things, compare it to his licence and there is nothing he can drive! lol This is the gov.uk guidance:

You can already tow trailers up to 750kg.

You can also tow heavier trailers if the combined weight of the trailer and vehicle isn’t more than 3,500kg maximum authorised mass (MAM).

So yes he can tow a 750kg trailer but he can't exceed 3500, the van is 3000kg so I'm guessing max for trailer is 500kg.
