Important checks

  • The towball limit we hold for the Audi Q8 is our estimate at 10% of the braked towing rating. Check the compliance plate or the owner's manual for the Audi Q8's own figure before you rely on this check.

This is a guide off the makers' published figures.The legal numbers are the compliance plates on your car and the van. Weigh the loaded rig at a public weighbridge to know for sure, then read the ticket.

Your shortlist keeps every saved van on one page to compare side by side, and you can email the list to yourself.

Two people buy this van at the same price. One gets a loan rate 2% higher than the other.

Over seven years, the one with the higher rate pays about $5,500 more.

Always check your compliance plate

Online databases use factory-standard specs. They do not know about the bullbar on your car, a suspension upgrade, or how much you are carrying. Each one changes your real limits.

How to find it

Open your passenger or driver door. Look for a silver or black metal plate riveted to the pillar. This plate overrides everything you read online.

Where the plate is and how to read it

Why the numbers move once you load up

The figure most often left out of the sum is payload, which is everything you add after the vehicles leave the factory.

  • Bullbar and winch: both add weight to the front of the car, and it comes out of your payload.
  • Passengers: everyone in the car, including the driver, comes out of its payload.
  • Ball weight: the weight the van puts on the towball comes out of your car's payload as well as its towing limit.

Work out what this van is allowed to carry, then check the figures before you pack it.

Always weigh your rig fully loaded.

This pairing is inside the published ratings, with not much room left.

Gear for a van close to your limits

The published weights sit close together here. A weight distribution hitch moves some of the towball load onto the car's front axle, which is where the ball weight takes it from.

What towing this pair needs

  • A brake controller in the car. Coupled up, the Ezytrail Airlie 22 3 Bunk puts about 3,215kg on its wheels, and Australian law needs a controller above 2,000kg GTM (Gross Trailer Mass).

    How to choose one
  • A weight distribution hitch is worth pricing. The Ezytrail Airlie 22 3 Bunk's ball weight is 285kg.
