Some Landrover Products are rated at 3500kg and some Toyota Landcruisers also where not sure about recent versions. Authorities here in Wales occasionally target vehicles towing. They check on conditions tyres and such, weights, hitch weight and so on. I have seen them pull over vehicles some times its a multiple agency thing, with inland review, police and others. In that case they usually occupy long la-bys and have scouts pulling vehicle all around. They stop HGV, Towing vehicles, anything they fancy or have little excuse, pickups farm vehicles commercials and so on. At other occasions is lone wolf stops. I should imagine that it is common in farming areas across GB and on long routes or known shortcuts/loops where people are avoiding detection. They also dip tanks looking for RED diesel a common thing in farming regions. If someone is regularly towing heavy weights they really aught to have a definitive answer to towing weight. No idea of the penalty but it could be expensive if transgressing and would add points to ones licence. I remember reading in a local paper some time ago about those being prosecuted and one was a near neighbour for a trailer problem, long time ago so I do not recall the specifics. Could have been anything from defective trailer tyres, over weight wrong nose weight, not having the brake away cable, wrong number plates. I have also seen caravans stopped in a local village in its one way system, I think that persecutions followed that also.
