Can your tow vehicle really tow what the brochure says? 🤔
First up, we're not picking on the Isuzu MU-X. Plenty of popular tow vehicles have the same catch, and we'll go through them one at a time in posts like this. The MU-X just makes a very clear example.

2024 Isuzu MU-X 3.0L 4×2
✅ Braked towing capacity: 3,500 kg
✅ Max towball download: 350 kg
✅ GVM (max loaded vehicle): 2,700 kg
⚠️ GCM (max car + caravan combined): 5,900 kg

Here's the catch. To tow the full 3,500 kg, the MU-X itself can't weigh more than 2,400 kg (5,900 − 3,500).
It weighs 2,050–2,090 kg empty, depending on the trim. That leaves only 310–350 kg for everything else: driver, passengers, luggage, accessories, and the towball weight.
A 3,500 kg van with a 350 kg ball weight (the recommended 10%) uses up that entire allowance before anyone even gets in the car.
So in the real world, a MU-X 4×2 can't tow 3,500 kg with a full towball and a driver on board and stay legal.
Your car may be closer to its limits than you think. The only way to know for sure is to weigh your actual setup, loaded the way you travel.

Truweigh Caravan and Vehicle Weighing Franchises Available
Nearly 1 million caravans are registered in Australia — and almost 9 in 10 are not legal and the owners don't even know..
When police have set up roadside weighbridges, the results have been ugly: up to 9 in 10 rigs checked overweight, and only about 2% of drivers knew their true weight beforehand. That's not just a fine waiting to happen — it's a rollover risk.
That gap is exactly what a TruWeigh franchise is built to close. Turn up, weigh the rig properly, hand the owner a report that proves it's sorted. No shopfront, flexible hours, and the software and systems already built for you.

There seems to be a bit of a competition lately between caravan weighing companies over who can produce the report with the most pages.

But more pages don’t necessarily mean more useful information.

At TruWeigh Caravan & Vehicle Weighing, we think the report should do one thing above all else: tell you clearly what your numbers mean.

Our weighing reports are designed to be concise, easy to understand and focused on the information you actually need — your measured weights, your legal limits, where you stand against those limits, and anything that deserves your attention.

No padding just to make the report look bigger.

Whether the report is three pages or thirteen pages is irrelevant. What matters is that when you finish reading it, you understand your caravan and tow vehicle combination better than you did before.

Here’s an example of one of our dual-axle reports.
