How TowSense verifies this page

TowSense checks published specifications against Australian source documents. Source checked records pass automated extraction, identity and calculation checks; human review is reserved for exceptions. Manufacturer documentation is preferred, but where manufacturers do not publish a particular specification, TowSense may use recognised technical or independent Australian sources and identifies that source clearly. Calculated values are labelled separately. We do not estimate missing manufacturer limits.

Can this vehicle really tow its headline capacity?

The braked towing capacity is only one constraint. The complete setup must also remain within the applicable GVM, GCM, towball, front axle, rear axle, towbar, coupling and tyre limits. Passengers, luggage, accessories and towball load consume vehicle capacity.

Payload and accessory impact

Bullbars, winches, canopies, drawers, auxiliary batteries, long-range fuel, recovery equipment, roof loads, passengers and towball download all contribute to the loaded vehicle. Check actual fitted weights and positions rather than relying on advertised payload alone.

Advisory limitation

Confirm the figures against the exact vehicle compliance information and current manufacturer documentation. Modifications or approvals may change applicable ratings. TowSense does not certify legality, roadworthiness or engineering compliance.

See how towball weight affects both axles

Towball load acts behind the rear axle. The rear axle can gain more than the towball mass while the front axle unloads.

Assess the complete setup

Compare the vehicle with a caravan, calculate axle distribution, or assess passengers, accessories and modifications together.
