What is the Ford Everest's GCM?

6,250 to 6,350 kg, depending on the variant, according to Ford's MY2027 specifications. GCM is the most the loaded vehicle and loaded trailer may weigh together.

* What the vehicle can carry above its kerb weight while towing its full braked capacity: the lower of GCM minus braked towing, and GVM minus a 10% towball download, minus kerb weight. Figures copied 19 October 2026.

Worked example: Ford Everest Sport, 4x4, Wagon, 2.0L turbo-diesel, part-time 4x4, 10-speed automatic

The Ford Everest Sport, 4x4, Wagon, 2.0L turbo-diesel, part-time 4x4, 10-speed automatic weighs 2,304 kg at kerb, has a 3,100 kg GVM and a 6,250 kg GCM, and is rated to tow 3,500 kg braked.

GCM: to tow 3,500 kg, the loaded vehicle can weigh no more than 6,250 − 3,500 = 2,750 kg.
GVM: with 350 kg on the towball (10% of the trailer), the vehicle can weigh no more than 3,100 − 350 = 2,750 kg before hitching.
The lower figure, 2,750 kg, leaves 446 kg above kerb weight for the towbar, accessories, passengers and gear.

GVM plus braked towing is 3,100 + 3,500 = 6,600 kg, which is 350 kg more than the GCM. You can't load this variant to its GVM and tow its full rating at the same time.

How much it can tow as you load it

Added to kerb weight	Loaded vehicle	Heaviest trailer
300 kg	2,604 kg	3,500 kg
500 kg	2,804 kg	2,960 kg
700 kg	3,004 kg	960 kg
900 kg	3,204 kg	0 kg

The heaviest trailer is the lowest of the braked towing capacity, GCM minus the loaded vehicle, and the GVM room left divided by a 10% towball download. Use how much can I tow with your own weights and towball percentage.

8 of the 8 variants listed have a GVM plus towing capacity higher than their GCM. Our guide on why a 3,500 kg towing capacity often isn't 3,500 kg explains what that means.

Notes from Ford

Ford's kerb weight includes a full tank of fuel and all standard equipment, without occupants, luggage or cargo. Ford says weights are approximate and subject to individual variances.
Ford's Everest spec sheets don't list the maximum towball download. Check your owner's manual.
Ford says the 3,500 kg braked towing capacity applies with a Genuine Ford tow pack, and that occupants or luggage may need to be restricted to stay within the GCM and GVM.
Wolftrak figures come from Ford's separate Everest Wolftrak MY2027 spec sheet (October 2026).
Every Everest is a 4x4 wagon. The 2.0L has part-time 4x4 and the 3.0L V6 has full-time 4WD.
