Hi Guys..My mate just bought one..If it has a 21ookg towball, could it/would it tow a car trailer with a car on it with ease?

hi, it will be able to tow a car and trailer. Depends on the wieght of the trailer and the car. If towing a standard vn-vs commy you are looking at 1400kg plus the weight of the trailer usually around 800-1000kg.
Its not legal to tow any more than 1.5 times the tare wieght of the vehicle doing the towing(here in nsw).I dont know the tare of a vy so you would have to work out if its legal or not.
Its probably not a good thing to overload the towball or towbar but as long as you are not doing it heaps you shouldnt have any problems.

Hi I towed a toyota corolla on a car trailer just on the weekend with my 2003 vy with a 1600kg tow bar with no problems I did not go over 80km and as maginoodle said if you don,t do it all the the time there should be no problems.
