Up to about 85% of it's kerbweight seems to be the accepted norm, ie @1600kg, although it's capable of more in terms of power.

Yep agree around 1600kg as Missfixit says...... for reference I towed a "shed" (Avondale Dart 556-6) 6 berth job to Silverstone for the GP and had my Bongo loaded for me PLUS their kit for the weekend with ease.....they are 1300kg unladen....
