Same applies to the 30d, which I believe is what you call the 35d?

Right... What are the weight distribution guidelines for towing in NZ? I can't find anything "official" but various "caravan" sites and such seem to indicate that 4% is what the EU dictates on the hitch when trailering. Which, as I stated before, makes sense why those markets get a higher rating. We're putting 2.5X as much weight on the hitch in the US for any given trailer weight and that's our limiting factor, not the X5 itself.
