4x4 towbar suitability

[Cjmc]

Hi all
Have done a deal on purchasing a VW Amarok.
It has a swan neck type tow bar fitted to it from new.
Do people find these towbars sufficient for towing say a 12 x6 cattle trailer with a full load?
I won’t be doing much heavy towing to be honest, once or twice a year 40 mile trip to the mart will be the height of it as I usually use the tractor for towing from field to field locally.
The towbars specs are:
Westfalia
D- value= D15.7 kN
Max vert. Load= S140 kg
Thanks

Based on the calculator on the website below, your hitch should tow 3.5t behind a jeep weighing max 2.95t.

Ideally a 17kN hitch will allow a 3.5t vehicle tow a 3.5t trailer.

Thanks for the reply,
On another note, anyone know the timing belt replacement interval on the 2 litre bitdi engine in the amarok?
Thanks.
