In NSW, the golden rule is simple: tow within the rated limits of both your vehicle and towbar, and leave bravado at the boat ramp. Trailers over 750 kg must have brakes, and over 2,000 kg need an appropriate electric system with a breakaway device. Use rated safety chains/shackles, working lights and plates, and mirrors that give you a clear view down the trailer’s flanks. Load it evenly, keep the towball weight within the vehicle maker’s guidance, and don’t exceed tyre or axle ratings just because “it’s only down the road.” If in doubt, confirm specifics with Transport for NSW before the long weekend turns into a long chat with a highway patrol officer.
