It was a bit dodgey trying to stop in the rain, so we had to drive in 4wd to the centre diff kept all 4 wheels braking! I wouldn't recommend doing this that often but it was the only (safe ish) way we could tow home. Tough wee cars!
Did you tow 2500kg & 5 people with a jimny?
How far did you have to tow and what was it towing?
The stupid thing is you carnt realy get a brake trailer under 1000kg. All 750kg trailers are un-braked. The only trailers i could find where 1000kg braked. It does mean you can tow it without needing B+E, just! To big realy and rather expensive. Basicaly means you have to go way over what you realy need.

Yes with an 01 Jimny.
We were towing a car on a trailer. The trailer weighed 1200kg and the car 1300kg. So roughly 2500kg we towed. Used the low range box for a few hill though! Lol
