Strangely everywhere except Australia where it is 250Kg, and the XC90's limit is doubled to 180Kg. I *think* that in Australia the nose weight has to be a minimum of 7% of the trailer weight.

The 150 Kg limit is because that's what Land Rover rate their tow bars for. I guess there are stronger tow bars around if you can find them. It can be hard to find the maximum nose weight of trailers though.

I have never heard of anyone getting pulled over a subsequently prosecuted for excess nose weight. For me it comes down to what you said earlier about common sense when loading and setting up etc. - the nose weight is just the static load when stationary which is actually almost irrelevant compared to the nose weight dynamic load that will be exerted under heavy braking.

I met admit static nose weights have always seem strange as people say . Surely if you have a 3500kg trailer on the tow bar. You would have transient loads of 10 to 20 times the static one!
