towing capacity

GG,
Possibly it has the lite weight tow bar fitted.
Cheers Dave.

Depends on the towbar, there are a number of different "sizes" usually governed by price, however, the last say goes to Toyota.
I'm not sure what your vehicle is rated at (maximum) regardless of how good your towbar is, or how good your vehice tows, Toyota's towing limits must be adhered to.

This what Toyota has rated the capacity at. Vehicle weight,engine, brakes, etc all comes into what the vehicle is capable of. To be honest with a 1kz I wouldn't want to put any more weight behind it anyway. The engine is only rated to 315nm (get more with a chip) 1800 behind is a fair amount of weight.I know the likes of the navara's and some of the later utes are rated considerably more but have bigger motors, brakes and possibly stronger transmissions as well ?? regards Steve

Didn't do your reasearch did you. you allowerd your heart to rule your head. I did my research and bought a 2002 TD Navara, rated at 3 tonne towing capacity. I got no problems.

On your model Hilux, the chassis can bend if you have too much towball weight.

I checked Redbook and Towing Braked (kg) 1800

Unfortunately thats your lot.
