As usual, in US they'll say "not recommended" as a CYA and in Europe they'll give the real answer, about 2000-2500 lbs (1000kg) is totally fine and within the car's limits especially if you aren't doing anything stupid. Just got my hitch installed (Class II) and can't wait to start trailering soon. By having this there is no need to buy a big vehicle for occasional utility trailer use.
