Why the headline towing figure is not the whole answer

Usable towing capacity can also be constrained by actual payload, GVM, GCM, towball download, front and rear axle ratings, passengers, accessories and caravan loading.

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.
