Know your vehicle's towing capacity.
It is imperative that you know the exact towing capacity of your vehicle for safety, legal and insurance purposes.
This is vehicle specific. Details of the towing capacity for your vehicle are found in the owner’s manual and the manufacturer’s website. The actual, exact and only towing capacity figure that should be used for your vehicle is that which is stamped on the Vehicle Identification Number Plate, VIN Plate.
The VIN plate is generally found under the bonnet or on a door pillar and details of the location the plate will be in the owners manual
Once you have located your VIN plate, it will display either 3 or 4 sets of weight, it is these weights that the authorities use to determine whether your vehicle is over-laden.
The VIN plate will display either 3 or 4 sets of weight, it is these weights that the authorities use to calculate the limits of your vehicle.
This image shows a VIN plate from a vehicle that is approved to tow:
It has 4 lines of numbers:
2505kg - Gross vehicle weight, the Maximum Allowable Mass (MAM)
of the vehicle including occupants, fuel and payload.
4200kg - Gross train weight, the combined maximum allowable
mass of the vehicle and trailer.
1250kg & 1300kg - Maximum axle loads front and rear respectively.
The manufacturer’s recommended maximum towing capacity for your vehicle is the gross vehicle weight subtracted from gross train weight. The vehicle identification plate detailed in the above picture has a towing capacity of 1695kg.
4200kg – 2505kg = 1695kg
