See, you could never find a trailer in the states more than maybe 3,500 lbs (about 1600kg) that would have 150kg or less tongue weight. That is just the difference between American and European towing schemes. And it's also the reason that very few vehicles in America can tow very much trailer other than big dumb trucks. If you put 600lbs of tongue weight on a 2.0l Mazda 3 it would not be safe, but in Europe that car could tow a reasonably large camper trailer.
