anyone who has seen the size of a 4500 kg trailer will be chuckling by now...

We often talk about this on US sites and it comes out this is the standard tow rating,
some versions can tow up to 12,000 lbs which is 5.5 T, getting pretty big for a 1500.
Move to a HD2500 truck and you can tow up to 18,000 lbs with plenty of payload
