Passed my trailer test!! And a question.

[minigal]

Passed my trailer test today so I will be out buying a trailer very soon!!

How do I find out what my truck can tow? I have tried googling but no joy, I know there is a plate somewhere??

It's a Mazda B2500 pickup truck if anyone knows!!

Am having problems finding the towing capacity for it

 

[minigal]

Thankyou!! I think it's pretty much the same as a Ford Ranger?

Sorry no idea but well done

Is the Mazda 4wd?

 

[minigal]

Yes it's a 4wd

Well done on passing your rest. Have you checked under the bonnet for the plate?

 

[minigal]

No because that would be the logical thing to do! What figures does the plate have on it?

That I believe is an aussie truck so may not have a plate or done in the same way as the UK

A UK plate will have 4 weights on it and always in this order -
GVW
GTW
Axle 1 front
Axle 2 rear
In the majority of cases the towing capacity will be the GTW minus the GVW but if the mmanufacturer has not listed a max towing capacity then just the plated weights will be used

GTW means the maximum actual weight the vehicle and trailer can be when placed on a weighbridge
