Towing question

[GarryO]

I have a 2001 V6 Bora 4Mo and was wondering what problems if any I can expect towing a car trailer with a vehicle weighing about 1300kg
will be a braked car trailer.
traveling about 800k on mostly flat country.
Any insights would be appreciated

Well with a towing capacity of 1500kg it's cutting it close. On the other hand, I have no idea =]

Are you saying the car weighs 1300kg or car and trailer?

car is 1300, no idea about trailer atm but I suspect you are right, cutting it close.
might put car on a diet before I load it up, just in case.

Don't think putting it on a diet is the right way to do it. For heavier trailers my understanding is that you need more mass otherwise your trailer will start to push your car around specially when braking and in corners.

Imagine this (good thing your trailer has brakes):
