Does anyone know if the 180 kg tow ball weight above 2.5 ton on the NT Pajero could be engineered out legally to 300 kg or even 250 kg?

This question has been raised before on this
forum and others over the past 12 months.
Ball weight is 250kg up to a tow weight of 2500kg and decreases to 180kg ball weight for a tow weight of 2500 - 3000kg.
But a WDH is still required for ball weights over 130kg.
Figures from the 2009 Vehicle Towing Mass Guide.
I doubt very much if you could have it re engineered and certified.
Sounds like you'll need a vehicle with a higher specified Ball weight of a lighter van. If the van ATM (Legal Maximum Loaded Weight) is at or lower than 2500kg then by redistributing weight your should be able to get the ball weight down to 250kg.
Good luck - ozjohn.
