How to work out your towing weight

The towing capacity is found in the vehicles handbook if you don't have those to hand you can work it out yourself. All you need is to find the VIN plate this is normally located on the drivers door pillar.  It will normally show 4 weights we are only interested in the top two.

Gross vehicle weight, the Maximum Allowable Mass (MAM) of the vehicle including occupants, fuel and payload. 

Gross train weight, the combined maximum allowable mass of the vehicle and trailer.
