Worked example: Nissan Navara ST, 4x4, Dual Cab Pick-Up, 2.4L bi-turbo diesel, 6-speed automatic

The Nissan Navara ST, 4x4, Dual Cab Pick-Up, 2.4L bi-turbo diesel, 6-speed automatic weighs 2,143 kg at kerb, has a 3,190 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 3,190 − 350 = 2,840 kg before hitching.
The lower figure, 2,750 kg, leaves 607 kg above kerb weight for the towbar, accessories, passengers and gear.

GVM plus braked towing is 3,190 + 3,500 = 6,690 kg, which is 440 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	2,443 kg	3,500 kg
500 kg	2,643 kg	3,500 kg
700 kg	2,843 kg	3,407 kg
900 kg	3,043 kg	1,470 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.

4 of the 4 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.
