Hi, I own a '97 hilux surf SSR 3.0 Turbo Diesel, do anyone know if I can tow a 7000 lbs boat? I can't find the towing capacity spec anywhere.
thanks

Think you need a Landcruiser Amazon or a Nissan Patrol for that. Both of them have a 3500lb towing limit however I have heard of them towing over 8000lbs.Originally posted by diegoma
The Surf would probably pull the 7000lbs but because it is not really heavy enough for that weight it would be a real handful to tow at anything over walking pace.

LC and Patrols can tow 3500kgs yes but i think the LC engines are rated to around 6000kgs on private land without any problems.Originally posted by lucky

conversion of weight
7000Lbs equates to 3.175 Tonnes
A Landrover can tow 4 Tonnes legally - hope this helps....probably not though !Comment

Surfs are approx 4000lbs or 2 metric tonne (2000lbs = 1 tonne)..
Land Crusier Amazon,Isuzu Rodeo [new pickup] and the New Patrolare vehicles I know of that can pull 3500kg >7000lbs]...which I believe is the max legal limit for cars?Gaz

As much as I hate to admit it, a Discovery can tow 3.5 tonnes as standard and 7.5 tonnes with a slave brake system fitted. Looked in to it years ago when I was a disco owner.
Not sure I would like to try it though!Comment

Towing rule of thumb for any vehicle is 85% of it's kerbside weight, maybe an exception with some of the heavier 4 x 4's. If new to towing I'd stick to it, more experienced can tow higher ratios to kerb weight but not recommended.
