Do I need a special licence or vehicle to tow a V-Trail?
V-Trail is built to keep towing within reach of a standard licence and a capable work vehicle:
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Gross weight | Under 3,500 kg |
| Dimensions | 6500 mm Long× 2033mm Wide × 3583mm High |
| Axles | Dual axle |
| Suspension | Cruisemaster CRS independent |
| Chassis | 350-grade high-tensile Australian milled steel, FEA tested and engineered before manufacture |
| Deck | 6 mm checkerplate aluminium |
| Compliance | Built to ADR and VSB1 |
| Registration | NSW and QLD registration compliant |
What you need to confirm on your side:
- A towing vehicle rated for the actual weight, including its tow ball download limit and its Gross Combination Mass, not just the headline braked towing capacity. A vehicle rated to tow 3,500 kg often cannot do so while also carrying a crew and equipment.
- The correct coupling and electrical connection, and functioning trailer brakes.
- Licence class for the combination in your state. Under 4,500 kg GVM a car licence is generally sufficient, but the combination mass and any state-specific requirement should be checked rather than assumed.
- Terrain. The independent suspension and off-road build are there for unsealed access, but “off-road capable” is not “unlimited”. If the access track is genuinely marginal, tell us before deployment day.
