It should tell you either in the handbook or on the Toyota website under the model and vehicle specifications.

In this case size DOESNT matter LOL its the plated ATM of the van

I would think its 3500kg as most Toyotas are but check on the website.

Borabora - you can get all the stats from Red Book but for the HDJ79R which is the tabletop it is 3,050kg braked.

Doesnt seem consistent then does it.

I just poked up 2010 79 series and looked down the specs.
