The owners manual states 600kg without brakes, or 925kg with brakes. The maximum weight on the towball is 68kg.
The towbar on my GL convertible is rated at 925kg, but they 'can' tow more. Not exactly legal though.
I've also used a GK Scorpion to tow a complete GJ Sigma on a trailer from Mittagong to Maitland, a distance of 270km. Total weight of the trailer and Sigma would have easily been 2000kg. Hill starts weren't the easiest though as it was a manual.
