Tow Bar, anyone in OZ found one?

[jaredm]

I got told for my MY06 model that it is not rated to tow, therefore can not purchase a tow bar for it

Partially correct.

The Barina had been de-rated for towing. It seems we can't have it both ways, a 5 seater car with a boot and a towing vehicle.

I contacted Holdens and it goes like this,
Standard sedan, 5 x 68kg for the seats and 68kg for the boot.
With a tow bar, take the static weight of the towbar, wiring, ball etc, off the boot allowance.
With a trailer, take the ball weight of the trailer off the rear seating allowance.

Most small tow bars are rated to 750kg, with a max towing weight of 380kg for the trailer and load.
This means maybe two adults, some tools in the boot, and a garden trailer with grass clippings is about all one can take to the tip.
