If your car has a kerb weight of 1500kg and you are thinking of towing anything heavier than that, I would contact your insurers to make sure that they would cover you before purchasing anything. Some will baulk at insuring an outfit where the trailer is heavier than the car, and others will quite happily consider it, so you may have to change insurers.
Personally I prefer to tow a caravan that is well under the maximum permitted, as I always like to have something in reserve. It puts less strain on the car, particularly when towing up steep hills with a headwind. I tow a caravan weighing under 1,000kg with a car capable of towing 1,350kg which it would with ease, as the manual gearbox version is rated to tow 2,000kg. I barely know the caravan is on the back and it sails up hills.

Colin
