The nose weight of any specific trailer or caravan can/does vary with the loading distribution, and this would seem to be the logical method of controlling nose weight but can't see how that can be legislated.Thanks Eric, understood re S value. However the nose weight is somewhat arbitrary within reason and will be dependent to some extent on the design of the trailer/caravan etc and the contribution of the 'nose weight' to the overall vehicle payload. Perhaps a reduced 'suggested' nose weight on the sticker is also dependent on other weight bearing options on the vehicle: sliders, winch, roof rack etc, all of which decrease the ultimate payload compared to a vehicle with no options. I guess all will be revealed when some IA guru is prepared to make a statement?
Theoretically you can have a fully loaded 3.5T trailer loaded so as to produce 0 or negative nose weight, bloody stupid but would comply with a reduced 310kg limit.

). Speedo not being in line of sight and the rest for my left foot were not a problem. Accelerator feels agricultural and steering isn’t as responsive as RRS, the only niggle is that when driving straight the TDC of the steering wheel is at 3 minutes past the hour.
