Mobile Towbar Fitting & Trailer Servicing / Repairs. Towbars in reading fitting
Checking a vehicles Towing Capacity.
Locate the vehicles VIN plate and note the four lines of weights shown in Kilograms (kg):
GVW
GTW
To calculate the towing capacity of a vehicle:
Subtract the Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) from the Gross Train Weight (GTW):
3460 kg - 2005 kg = 1455 kg Towing Capacity
If like the above picture NO figures are listed for Gross Train Weight then the vehicle is unfortunately not homologated to tow and it is not possible to fit a towbar.
Towbars are rated for the maximum capacity in the intended vehicle range. However, the vehicle manufacturer may rate some models with a lower capacity (GVW) e.g. eco models or smaller engines; please be aware of this.
