doesn't the manufactures tow rating overwrite the department of transports rating or is it the other way around?

I people, I have recently purchased a 2009 Jimny and I am reading the user manual and it says the towing is Braked : 450kg Unbraked: 350kg I thought the jimny had 1.3T braked and 350kg unbraked can anyone clarify this for me? Thanks! |

how do you ADR stamp a towbar? a towbar cant comply to ADR's. its got no wheels If you have ABS then I would be inclined to get clarification from Suzuki based on your VIN |

There are ADRs relating to towbar design, as referenced here: http://www.transport.wa.gov.au/mediaFil ... ci_116.pdf |
