The Triumph Toledo’s Towing Capacity & Limitations!?!
According to the Towing Information sub-section on Page 04-3, of Section 04 – General Specification Data, of the official loose-leaf BLMC Triumph Toledo 1300 & 1500 Repair Operation Manual [Part No. 545168, Issue 3], the towing limits for the Triumph Toledo 1300, 1500 & 1500TC saloons are as follows:
Maximum braked-trailer weight: 15 cwt (i.e. 762¼ kg by calculation)
Maximum un-braked-trailer weight: 3•94 cwt (i.e. 200 kg), provided the total weight of the car and trailer (i.e. combined weight of the car, car’s payload, trailer & trailer’s payload), does not exceed the car’s maximum gross-vehicle weight for cars with1300 & 1500 single carburettor engines, or 28•8 cwt (i.e. 1465 kg) for cars with 1500 twin-carburettor engines.
For comparison purposes, does anyone have the BLMC Triumph officially sanctioned maximum towing-weights data, as given in the
General Specification Data section of the brown-plastic coated, four-ring, loose-leaf folder based, workshop manuals for the Triumph 1500 and Triumph Dolomite 1300, 1500, 1500HL, 1850, 1850HL & Sprints?
