Towing Weight Laws

[AceOfHearts]

I am struggling to find some information that I thought would be easy to come by, so thought I would ask on here.

I want to tow a car trailer that has a MAM of 3500kg, do I need to use a car that is rated to tow 3500kg or just the actual weight of trailer plus whatever it is carrying?

I am just in the process of doing my B+E test and am looking to buy a tow car, but searching for cars with a 3500kg tow weight makes it very restrictive.
