towing capacities

[tropicrows]

Anyone know of a web page that lists the towing capacities of the popular 4x4 on the market. I need to start from 2006 appox.

Mate if you do a search on Redbook they list the details for most car brands and i have found them to be pretty accurate, however they don't allow for any mods to the car.

This is a bit of a long winded way but you can do a product search and it will give you the towing weight and ball weight.

Thanks Nidrac & Bros,

I have not tried Red Book yet, but I did find the Hayman & Reese site very helpful.

My Ford Ranger has a 3 tonne towing rating but frequently burns the clutch out
5 clutches in 10,000 km ; Boat well under 2 tonne

Carbudy also has various information on a variety of vehicles.

there are several others.

Remember some of these sites have accuracy issues because of the information provided to them.

The glove box handbook is usulay a good thing.

But even then this can have its problems.
some of the brands the "real" "official " towing capacity can be a bit of a mystery and you have to enquire of the manufacturer.

Toyota and Nissan seem to have made sure their towing capacities are well known and documented.


cheers
