Ball weight on Colorado 7

It should be specified in the owner's manual.

I have the previous model (2009) and the ball weight specified in the owner's manual is 300kg. I would expect the newer model to be around the same specs, or higher.

Don't want to buy into an argument but you raise an intersting question and good luck getting an answer. I did some investigation into the ball weight thing a while ago while contemplating a camper trailer purchase. Every manufacturer boast about a 3000 kg towing capacity or whatever but beyond that info can be hard to find. I
recall the Nissan online specs were quite detailed, pointing out that as the ball weight rises the vehicle weight must be reduced and giving some examples. Mitsubishi offered some guidance for the pajero but there was no mention on the Toyota websites for Prado. I just had a look at the Colorado7 site and you are right (not that I doubted you) there is no mention of ball weights.
I didn't buy the camper and still have my ranger and the only advice there (which is on a plaque attached to to the tow bar) is 120kg or 180 with a wdh and the weight in the tray needs to be watched.
I think you will just have to keep asking. And try the service department, not sales.

Good luck

This is a question that any Salesperson entitled to a commission should be able to answer.

In looking at the vehicle I can confirm that recently GMH Engineers took a Colorado Wagon and Ute over both Billy Goat Track and Mathieson Track straight out of the factory with HT tyres on and no modifications.

I was impressed and informed them so.

Hi Cruiser
Genuine GMH towbars have a plague welded on them stating the max tow weight & max ball weight. You could check with the Holden Dealer spare parts Dept..

Google (it's so easy ).......Colorado 7 (towbars Australia )....3000 tow limit....ball weight...300kg....

General rule of thumb is ten percent of towing weight,I'm sure the brochure should state the towing weight,hope this helps.
