2010 fiesta 1.6 tdci having mixed results regarding weights. As low as 560kg and as high as 1450kg wr are looking a towing a trailer tent that maxes out at around 700kg.

 

Any advice please.  Local dealers seem to busy to answer my question 

hopefully this will help......

The VIN plate will display either 3 or 4 sets of weight, it is these weights that the authorities use to determine whether your vehicle is over-laden.

This first image shows a VIN plate from a vehicle that is homologated (Approved) to tow:

It has 4 lines of numbers:

2505kg - Gross vehicle weight, the Maximum Allowable Mass (MAM)
of the vehicle including occupants, fuel and payload.

4200kg - Gross train weight, the combined maximum allowable
mass of the vehicle and trailer.

1250kg & 1300kg - Maximum axle loads front and rear respectively.

The manufacturer’s recommended maximum towing capacity for your vehicle is the gross vehicle weight subtracted from gross train weight. The vehicle identification plate detailed in the above picture has a towing capacity of 1695kg.

4200kg – 2505kg = 1695kg
