the weight, ground clearance and transmission are big factors that seem overlooked.
you put 2 tonne on the back of your golf it will be sitting on its bump stops with its nose in the air with a hand-span of tow ball clearance.

just saying try it out first with wind and hills.
Yeah,but Mercury is talking about 12-1400kg!nowhere near the 2 tonne you are quoting
