Privacy PolicyNissan Patrol towing capacity, GVM, GCM, payload, towball download and axle ratings for Australian-market variants. Compare sourced specifications by year and grade.

Read the combination
Follow the load from the vehicle to the coupling and trailer. Each rating answers a different question.
Explore the weight map below ↓Passengers, fitted accessories, cargo and coupling load all contribute to vehicle mass. Compare the loaded vehicle with its GVM.
Payload is used by the complete load.
A towball behind the rear axle acts as a lever: it adds rear-axle load and unloads the front. Check each axle and the coupling limits separately.
Explore towball leverage →Check trailer ratings, towing capacity and GCM together. When combining vehicle and trailer figures, count transferred coupling load once.
A maximum tow rating is only one check.
Diagrams explain concepts only; bar heights are illustrative, not measured results. Use the exact variant ratings and weigh the setup as used. Conventional towball coupling shown; weight-distribution hitch forces are not modelled.
Researching a Nissan Patrol for towing requires the exact year and variant. Towing capacity, GVM, GCM, payload, towball download and axle ratings can change across generations, engines, drivetrains and grades. Where published records are available, they appear below. Otherwise, use the coverage guidance to collect exact-variant evidence; never assume one rating applies to every Nissan Patrol.
Match year, grade, engine and drivetrain before relying on a specification.
Tow rating alone does not confirm payload, GCM or axle-load headroom.
Confirm figures against the plate, handbook and any approved modification documents.
Accessories, occupants, cargo and caravan towball mass all consume vehicle payload. Their position can also make an axle rating the controlling limit before GVM is reached. For a proposed caravan, compare the complete loaded combination rather than the manufacturer's maximum towing figure alone.
