be careful as your freelander has a 2 tonne towing capacity and your jimny and trailer may be over that capacity
the standard jimny has a gross vehicle weight of 1420kg (unladen 1150kg) and a twin axle car transporter trailers start at about 450-550kg and as you have heavier axles bigger wheels & tyres winch steel bumpers etc you may be over 2000kg all up - probably worth getting the jimny weighed

Yeah thanks Darth. The dealer lied to me and said it had a 2.25 tonne braked capacity. Ive done some checking and yes you are right it is 2 tonnes, best be careful :S
