    NZ is one of the few countries where vehicle/towbar ratings don't line up with trailer weight braking rules. It was on the hit list with NZTA a while back & I attended a two day meeting with key trailer & towbar manufacturers at the ministries offices in Wellington. It was a workshop on how to fix this problem & address a few other issues around the trailer / towbar rules with safety being the top priority. As far as I know, it is still a document awaiting some funding and more input & drive to get it to parliament. That was about 5 years ago....
