These days cars have to be type approved for tow bars. If the manufacturer doesn't approve the car for a towbar then you can never install one. An example of this is the Mini Cooper S which I suspect wasn't type approved because of the position of the exhausts meaning it wouldn't be practical. I suspect if you put N/A then it means you could never install a tow bar which may or may not be an issue. I think I would be tempted to put 750Kg in there to at least allow you the option to tow a small unbraked trailer if you ever wanted to install a tow bar in the future. Having said that since 1998 the towbar itself is also supposed to be type approved so getting a type approved tow bar for an H4 would be impossible! Regards Allan
