Towing a 6m Lotus Trooper Caravan wit my 2001 GU 3litre turbo
Hi All,
Just bought a 6 m Caravan.
How much weight can I pull behind my 3.0 GU patrol.
I will have to fit electric brakes. If the caravan is balanced there should'nt be excessive downward weight on the tow bar/ back springs??
Just wondering for some ideas from fellow caravan owners towing behind their Patrol's

The towing placard on that vintage wagon should be on the inside edge of your rear barn doors mate. From memory only the TD42 (manual) & TB48 are rated for a full 3.5T towing capacity. All others are much lesser and the placard also explains max legal ball weight too I think for different variants. As PeeBee kindly mentions GCM above your GVM and axle weights is the killer for most Patrols & Landcruisers bums too! Patrol rear spring coil towers absolutely must have aftermarket braces put on top too mate and kevlar bagged poly air bags will be needed for added ball weight ride leveling.
EDIT: Here’s our old girls placard picture.
