Every make and model in our tow-vehicle data with at least one variant rated to pull 3,000kg braked or more. Tap a model to see the caravans that fit its published figures.
In our tow-vehicle data, 89 models have a variant published at 3,000kg braked or more, up to 8,000kg. The rating belongs to the variant rather than the nameplate, so an older or lower-spec build of the same model often tows less.
A tow rating is the ceiling on the trailer. Your car's GCM and payload decide what is left for people, fuel and gear once the van is on the back, and the compliance plates settle it.
Each one opens the caravans checked against that car's published towing capacity, ball weight and GCM figures.
Match the rating to ATM, the loaded weight, rather than to the tare weight on the brochure. The bracket page below lists every checked range with a published ATM under 3,000kg, lightest first.

That is usually GCM rather than the tow rating. Run your exact vehicle and the van you want through the calculator and see where the weight actually goes. No sign-up.
Run the Tow Calculator →89 models across 34 makes in our tow-vehicle data have at least one variant with a published braked towing capacity of 3,000kg or more, topping out at 8,000kg. The rating is per variant, not per model: within one nameplate a lower-spec or older build often tows less, so check the exact car you own or are about to buy rather than the badge on the back.
No. The braked tow rating is a ceiling on the trailer, and your car also has a GVM and a GCM (Gross Combined Mass) that the car, its passengers, everything in it and the loaded van have to fit inside together. Plenty of vehicles rated to 3,000kg run out of GCM well before the van reaches its ATM. Put your exact vehicle and the van you want through the tow calculator, and read the compliance plates on both.
The vans whose ATM stays under 3,000kg fully loaded, which is what our caravans under 3,000kg ATM page lists, lightest first. ATM is the most the van can weigh fully loaded, the figure stamped on its compliance plate, so that is the number your rating has to cover - not the tare weight in the brochure. Ram 2500 is the model here our catalogue matches to the most ranges (640).
They are the braked towing capacities published for each variant, held in our tow-vehicle table and used unchanged. We do not adjust or average them, and a model only appears once a variant of it publishes a rating that reaches 3,000kg.
Ball weight is the download the van puts on your towbar, and it counts against your car's payload, not the caravan's. Most tow vehicles cap it at around 10% of the tow rating, so a 3,000kg rating usually comes with a towball limit near 300kg - check yours on the towbar plate. Our ball-weight page groups vans by what they actually put on the ball.
