Can a Kia EV9 tow
an Oz Off Road Crew X 18'6?
Earth AWD Dual Motor (2026), checked against the manufacturer's published figures.
Close to the limits
The Oz Off Road Crew X 18'6's published ATM of 2,500kg exactly matches the Kia EV9's braked towing rating.
The Oz Off Road Crew X 18'6 would sit above the Kia EV9's 125kg towball rating at a ball weight of 10% of ATM. That is our estimate, not a published figure. Ask the manufacturer for theirs.

Important checks
- The Oz Off Road Crew X 18'6 would put 125kg more on the towball than the Kia EV9 is rated to carry. That uses an estimated ball weight of 250kg, which is 10% of ATM rather than a published figure.
- Towing meaningfully reduces an electric vehicle's driving range, so plan the Kia EV9's charging stops with that in mind.
- We could not run the GCM check for this pairing - that is the combined weight of the loaded car and caravan together. The Kia EV9's compliance plate or owner's manual carries its GCM figure.
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.

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.
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.

Every figure here describes the two vehicles as they left the factory. Anything fitted since then changes the numbers, and the plates on your own car and van are the ones that count.
