The Only Truth: Your Compliance Plate

Online databases (including Redbook) use "Factory Standard" specs. They don't know about `bullbars` (adds weight), `suspension upgrades` (changes GCM), or your carrying load.

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 Estimates Fail (Real World Expert Tip)

Many owners accidentally tow illegally because they forget Payload.

  • Bullbar & Winch: Adds ~80kg to your front axle (reduces payload).
  • Passengers: 4 adults = ~320kg payload gone.
  • Tow Ball Mass: This comes out of your car's payload, NOT just your towing limit.

Always weigh your rig fully loaded.

CRITICAL UPGRADE NEEDED

Need a stronger Tow Vehicle?

The Quantum FH is too heavy for your current setup. Compare finance options for a heavy-duty tow vehicle (RAM, Silverado, or LandCruiser).

Pro Tip: If you're close to the limit, consider moving heavy items from the caravan front boot to the rear of the car to adjust the ball weight (but watch your rear axle load!).
