I saw recently, Holden had released a SUV version of the Colorado called the Colorado 7, not sure how there was a previous model of what was a first release?
Being an SUV style it may have coil sprung rear and then most likely will be LESS than the Colorado itself.
300kg on these vehicles applied right at the outermost point called a ball
will certainly alter it's handling characteristics.
If a Colorado or even a Colorado 7 it will most likely to be asked to carry something, like 7 people as
well as tow. So ball weight may have to BACK OFF.
I wouldn't for a moment expect or be prepared to operate one of these with that amount of weight on the towbar ball, no matter what the manufacturer is prepared to claim is ok and be accepted as legal. It isn't always an ideal world when towing.
It is no good being a correct corpse just because a book said something.
