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.
The Toyota LandCruiser is an Australian towing icon, with the 300 Series offering up to 3,500 kg braked towing capacity on selected variants. The LandCruiser family also includes the 70 Series work ute and the Prado (150 Series), each with different tow ratings and payload characteristics.
Check current specification coverage below before relying on any LC200 figure. If exact-variant records are unavailable, collect the relevant manufacturer documents and measurements. Missing kerb mass, GCM or axle ratings cannot be assumed for calculations.
Find an LC200 year and variantThe 300 Series introduced a significant weight reduction compared to the 200 Series, improving payload headroom. Key figures to verify include GVM (typically around 3,280 kg), GCM (around 6,780 kg) and the towball download limit (typically 300–350 kg). Always check the specific grade and build year, as specifications have been updated across model years.
LandCruiser 300 owners commonly add bullbars, roof platforms, dual battery systems and long-range accessories. These additions shift weight forward, potentially overloading the front axle. When towing, the towball download transfers weight to the rear axle. A full weight assessment considers both axle limits simultaneously.

Current specification coverage
We do not currently have a complete, publishable specification set for this model. The guide above explains the checks to make, but is not a rating for your exact vehicle. Missing figures must not be treated as zero or taken from a different variant.
Match the year, grade, engine, transmission and drivetrain. Confirm the identity from the vehicle documents.
Check the handbook and applicable vehicle, towbar and modification documents for GVM, GCM, axle, towing and towball limits.
Record front and rear axle weights and the trailer/coupling measurements for the setup as used. Keep coupled and uncoupled readings clearly labelled.
Entering your own figures does not make them verified catalogue data. Your vehicle's applicable documents and measurements remain essential.
