In UK you can only have up to 150kg, but in Australia it's a different story. Read this thread to the end, the car will be ok with 150kgs. https://www.freel2.com/forum/topic32855.html

If I was going to that extent I think I'd just use a proper trailer. 🤔 Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

I think it’s aimed at people who can not reverse a trailer, also not sure but do they count as a trailer on French tolls so can be used free. There is a firm in france that makes them and hydra tail in Uk, think the French one is the dearer of the 2 |

We currently have a car transportable (it disassembles) scooter for my wife, but are looking at a more rugged semi all terrain one. It wouldn't fit in car, especially as we now have a Labrador taking the boot space.

I wouldn't worry about 150kg on the rear of a FL2 - I really wouldn't.

In Australia we can have up to 350kg on the towbar. We don't tow but with all the equipment we take, 500kg. Actually the car is even move comfortable to drive with the extra weight onboard, mostly towards the rear.
