a Silver Valley Caravans Indigo?

HP (2.9L Diesel) (2001), checked against the manufacturer's published figures.

Close to the limits

The Silver Valley Caravans Indigo's published ATM of 2,500kg exactly matches the Hyundai Terracan's braked towing rating.

Possible, but close to the limits

Loaded to its published ATM, the Silver Valley Caravans Indigo uses all but 0kg of what the Hyundai Terracan is rated to tow, so there is little room left for what you pack.

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.

Towing weights are enforced against the plates on the vehicles, never against a brochure. What the comparison above gives you is the Silver Valley Caravans Indigo's published weights next to the Hyundai Terracan's published ratings, so you know which numbers to look for on the plates themselves.

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.

Where to get it weighed, and what the ticket tells you.

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

Improve your stability

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

Check another combination

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.
