Towing & Payload

What the plate allows: towing capacity, trailer and tongue weight, payload and axle loads.

• Axle Load Calculator How a vehicle’s weight and a load split between the front and rear axles, from where the load sits, checked against the axle ratings.
• Payload Capacity Calculator How much a vehicle can carry once people, accessories and tongue weight are counted against its gross weight rating.
• Towing Capacity Calculator How much trailer your vehicle can actually tow once it is loaded — from the plate figures, not the brochure.
• Trailer Weight and Tongue Weight Calculator Gross trailer weight from the trailer and its load, the tongue weight it should carry, and whether it fits the trailer, hitch and vehicle limits.
