toyota hilux towing capacity 2022

Eyeing a 2022 Toyota HiLux for towing? Sensible choice, provided you pick the right flavour of ute and don’t pack half of Bunnings in the tray.

The key figures: Braked: up to 3,500 kg (most 4x4 diesel models), Unbraked: 750 kg, and a towball download around 350 kg. Some 4x2 and petrol variants tow less—often in the 2,500–3,000 kg braked ballpark—so don’t assume all HiLuxes are created equal. Mind your GVM/GCM and payload; a full crew, a toolbox, and a kelpie will nibble away at the headline number. Fit trailer brakes properly (and consider a weight-distributing hitch) unless you enjoy exciting stopping distances. Consult official documentation for exact figures.
