Don't know if that's strictly true, lots of cars have a higher capacity than their kerb weight. Take my 4x4 for example, 2000kg kerb weight, 650kg payload and 3000kg towing capacity. Why would a car be rated for a higher capacity if it were illegal? Can't find anything other than advised limits on internet.
And what about arctics? They tow much heavier trailers than they weigh.
Also be careful towing with 160 map, my gearbox (also auto) developed a few peculiar noises after lots of towing
