I think it explains less than what’s been discussed already because it doesn’t include the important info of the towball mass eating into the GVM of the tug.. that’s where most get caught out.

And or buy a modern age bullshit TC 3,500kg rated twin cab ute with 1,000kg of Bull Mastiff crap hanging as far back on its tray as possible fully airborne over a big red dune or river climb out!
Disclaimer: Best to full chassis brace a plastic type ute with a Patrol chassis slip joint over its top :-)
(Stops banana breakages midway they say)

Not interested in getting into an argument, it was explained to me as follows for the Patrol:
200kg or less towball weight does not effect GVM
250kg or less towball weight less 150kg GVM
300kg or less towball weight less 220kg GVM
350kg or less towball weight less 290kg GVM
The 200kg is built it as standard: Note that the posted reductions don’t match the actual weight, they are graduated.
Edit: don’t take my word for this, check with the relevant authorities.

I got some junk mail subscriptions from a Pat Callighans article and it was a detailed assessment about how the authorities are making a country wide effort to get vehicles and vans off the road that are in excess of their statutory limits, so weight of vehicles, weight of vans and combined weights. Here is the article.
