4wd hiace tow rating

Recommended Posts

tow rating is based on a lot more things then "engine ability".

Suspension, brakes, tyres, chassis strength, tow coupling strength, and plain old weight to make sure it doesnt get lifted or shunted around. You'd be quite suprised at how little weight some vehicles are rated to tow, and it becomes a big factor in the case of an insurance claim.

In terms of what its legally rated to tow, just call up toyota and ask them if you cant find any info on the net.

edit: oh and if you are asking what it can actually tow, then sky is the limit (i've towed a fully loaded car transporter with a honda integra before, but I wouldnt do that again in a hurry!)
