Privacy PolicyCompare sourced Australian Toyota Prado towing capacity, GVM, GCM, payload, towball download and axle ratings by model year, generation and variant.
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 Toyota LandCruiser Prado 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 Toyota LandCruiser Prado.
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.
Specifications are compiled from Australian-market manufacturer publications and authoritative reference material, organised by model year and configuration.

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.
