Not sure on that, been hunting all morning to find what I can tow on my licence an weights etc
Was tough trying to find the weight of the Bighorn when I rang Isuzu they rang back saying that IM wanted £150 to supply me with the weight and details of my car, thought I'd try on here

Just take the vehicle to a local Grain Store, Flour Mill, Gravel Pit, Transport Company, Scrap Metal Dealer or anywhere else that's got a weighbridge. They'll give you a certified weighbridge ticket for a small fee.

OK, the Bighorn is a grey area as it seems they are not plated.
Going off a SWB Trooper, its 2600kg fully laden so on a B licence you can tow 900kg, with a B+E you can tow 3300kg (braked trailers) its 750kg without brakes.
I think those figures are pretty safe.
Oh and those figures can be adjusted depending on what weight you have in the truck up to max joint weight of 3500kg on a B licence, A LWB is around 2020kg unladen.
There is a sticky thread in the towing section with a flow chart  Smile
