are you using a trailer with brakes? if so that weight limit increases.
what is the actual weight of your trailer and the weight of the datto?

I keep getting told that commodores suck for towing, but the vr vs have a 2100kg tow rating pretty much anything newer than a vp has that in the commodore range, might have to sell the bandit and get a vr or vs wagon or ute.

Here is the datto,

Plans change and the datto is now up for sale. Will hold onto the Beige Bandit a little while longer so i want to give it some loving.

Now, i'm thinking of spraying the boot garnish grey just the break the beige up a little and maybe matching bumpers as my front bar has a large crack and dent in it in the lower plastic, Lower it, adding some chrome window trim, a slight exhaust, a VN SS or similar steering wheel. I dont want it to fall into the boy racer category. I just want a nice car.

Okay, Keep it all Beige.. Or

Grey / Black Boot Garnish
Dark Grey Bars front and rear with Grey Grille? - Dont really think this colour would be suited to that style of trim but let me know what you think.

I've added chaser centre caps to it and a new Standard rear exhaust section.
