Can an Infiniti QX80 tow
a Jayco Australia Silverline?

V8 Petrol (2015), checked figure by figure.

Close to the limits

The Jayco Australia Silverline's published ATM of 3,214kg sits 286kg under the Infiniti QX80's 3,500kg braked towing rating.

Figures are the manufacturer's published ratings, apart from the towball rating, which is our estimate.

Possible, but close to the limits

Loaded to its published ATM, the Jayco Australia Silverline uses all but 286kg of what the Infiniti QX80 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.

A towing rating on its own rarely settles a pairing. What decides it for the Infiniti QX80 and the Jayco Australia Silverline 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.

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.

These are factory figures for a standard vehicle. A bullbar, a winch, a second battery or a full water tank all come out of what you have left to carry.
