    Well I dropped 190kg but still 244 over so nothing left but gvm upgrade ��
    So you were 334kg over GVM anyway before putting anything on the towball.
    I use 250kg towball weight so my penalty, using the Nissan sliding scale, is 400kg. This is why I got the 3550kg upgrade, it leaves me 3150kg but not possible to stay within that anyway when loaded for travelling..
