Checking a vehicles Towing Capacity.

Locate the vehicles VIN plate and note the four lines of weights shown in Kilograms (kg):

Vin Plate 2

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.
