I have a 2014 1756-2 outback and a prado tows it fantastic but the plate on the van is not correct my tow ball weight is to heavy for the prado the van weight is not to bad capped at 2499 kg but easy to go over I never carry water and still its heavy on the ball for the car don't trust there weights !!!!!!!!!! so to be legal I brought a 100 series cruiser but many tow with there prados I would get a EGT gauge for the car to watch your temps im sure ive over done the prado a few times fully loaded on the ball but no water I can be up to 280 on the ball

what is the ball weight of the 150?
this is why im looking at the 17.56-1 want the extra space and keep the weight as low as possible
