ZB towing a tear drop camper

[Sparra3]

Has anyone towed a tear drop camper with ZB hatch v6 20 inch wheels

It sounds like a stupid idea to me.
But the brakes should be able to cope.
But I would suggest you get electric brakes put onto the tear drop because it will improve towing ten fold.

Tow whatever you like, just keep within the load ratings and you will be fine.

Why does it sound like a stupid idea ?

not sure if you will find it with the zb as it is not a very popular vehicle here.

the normal towing rules will apply with weights and braked/unbraked trailers which is around 750kg+ must be braked.
i am pretty sure the limit for the zb is 2100kg which should give you a max of 210kg ball weight(10%).

if you are doing long trips in the heat, lots of hills etc maybe look at a transmission cooler.
keep within the gcm and it really should be no issue for you to tow it if it falls below everything above.

maybe ask our american friends on the buick forums how they go towing, it is basically the same vehicle

Just my personal opinion.

I did mention that you should ask to get the tear drop fitted with E brakes.
The reason is that when you're on the highway say on the Hume near Sydney, and you hit the high wind zone you can just use the trailer brakes to bring the trailer back into line.
The ZB might have sway control but E brakes can't be beaten.
