Yes, this pairing is inside the published ratings
The Cannon Alpha has a towing capacity of 3,500kg, which comfortably handles the Wild (2,500kg).
This is a guide off published figures, not a compliance check.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.
A towing rating on its own rarely settles a pairing. What decides it for the GWM Cannon Alpha and the Windsor RV Australia Wild is the published figures taken together: the weight the caravan carries when it is loaded, the weight it puts on the towball, and the combined limit the car holds for both of them at once.

Always check your compliance plate
Online databases use factory-standard specs. They don't know about your bullbar (adds weight), suspension upgrades (can change GCM), or how much you're carrying.
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.
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 comes out of its payload, not just the driver.
- • Tow ball mass: this comes out of your car's payload, not just your towing limit.
Always weigh your rig fully loaded.

Treat this as a guide off published figures, not a compliance check.The legal numbers are the compliance plates on your car and the van, and where we do not hold a published ball weight we estimate it at 10% of ATM.Weigh the loaded rig at a public weighbridge to know for sure, then read the ticket.
Where the published weights sit close together, how you pack changes what the scales say. Heavy items ride best low down and over the caravan's axles, and whatever sits on the towball is carried by the car rather than by the van.
