Privacy PolicyIllustrative 2024 Toyota LandCruiser 300 and caravan scenario. The stated assumptions produce a calculated payload exceedance; actual axle and coupling loads remain unverified. These are demonstration inputs, not verified specifications for this model.
This report is based on a demonstration setup.
Your ClearPath Report Is Generated Using:
The calculated coupled load is 445kg above the entered payload. This example assumes 560kg of net added accessory and carried-water weight, or 80% of the entered 700kg payload. Adding passengers (160kg), luggage (50kg) and additional fuel (80kg) gives 850kg uncoupled added load: 150kg above the entered payload. The 80kg fuel allowance applies only if it is not already included in the starting mass. Adding the illustrative 295kg towball load gives a calculated 445kg coupled exceedance. Confirm the mass basis and actual loaded weights before towing.
Coupled Payload Exceedance
445 kg over
Illustrative Rear Axle Input
91% of entered rating
Towball Margin
55 kg remaining
Why this matters: This summary flags conflicts between the supplied load estimates and the entered limits. Confirm the inputs and obtain measured vehicle and axle weights before towing.
Assessment Status
Calculated exceedance
against entered limits
Do not rely on this configuration for towing until the inputs are confirmed and measured weights show the applicable limits are not exceeded.
121% of entered payload before towball load
Illustrative 1,950kg input; not a calculated axle load
295kg input against 350kg entered rating
Illustrative inputs requiring verification
Advisory note: This is a high-risk indicator requiring verification, not a compliance or insurance determination. The figures are illustrative estimates; compare verified loaded weights with the applicable limits.
Calculated load exceeds the entered limit. Verify loaded weights and resolve the identified exceedance before towing.
Not a measured result: The illustrative 1,950kg input is below the entered 2,150kg rating. The 200kg difference is arithmetic only; it is not verified loading capacity. No axle exceedance or dynamic-load prediction can be established from this input. Obtain actual loaded axle readings.
Calculation only: The 295kg input is about 84% of the entered 350kg rating. The 55kg difference does not establish safe loading or towing stability. Check the applicable vehicle, towbar and coupling limits and measure the coupling load in travel configuration.

Illustrative example — not customer data or verified ClearPath reference data. These categories explain source labels. Sample figures demonstrate calculations only. Copying a manufacturer figure into a form does not make it independently verified.
Legend only: The source and confidence categories above explain report labels. They do not verify the figures in this demonstration. All values on this page are illustrative inputs or arithmetic derived from those inputs.
Calculation basis: The 850kg subtotal excludes the 295kg towball load. Including it gives 1,145kg against 700kg entered payload: a calculated 445kg exceedance and 3,795kg coupled vehicle mass. The 80kg fuel allowance assumes additional fuel not already included in kerb mass. If it is already included, remove it: the uncoupled exceedance becomes 70kg and the coupled exceedance 365kg. Accessory weights must likewise represent net additions after accounting for any removed original equipment. The rear-axle figure is an illustrative input, not derived from the accessory list. Resolve these assumptions using verified loaded weights.
Why this matters: The complete accessory and carried-water list totals 560kg, or 80% of the entered 700kg payload. The bull bar (95kg), cargo storage (145kg) and water (100kg) are examples within that total, not the entire 560kg. Additional passengers, luggage, fuel and towball load must also be included without double counting.
| Item | Est. Weight | Position |
|---|---|---|
| Steel bull bar with side rails | 95 kg | Front |
| Electric winch (12,000lb) | 35 kg | Front |
| Cargo storage and drawer system | 145 kg | Rear cargo area |
| Roof rack with solar panel (300W) | 45 kg | Roof |
| Dual battery system (200Ah lithium) | 55 kg | Under-bonnet |
| Long-range fuel tank hardware (fuel separate) | 45 kg | Underbody |
| 100L water tank (full) | 100 kg | Rear cargo area |
| Recovery gear, tools, spare tyres | 40 kg | Rear cargo area |
| Total Illustrative Added Weight | 560 kg |
Critical insight: 560kg of accessories = 80% of 700kg payload. This leaves an arithmetic 140kg for passengers, luggage, additional fuel and towball load — insufficient for the additional loads in this example. Assess lighter accessories and water requirements using verified net weight changes; do not assume a material substitution will achieve a particular saving.
Resolve the calculated payload exceedance before towing
The illustrative uncoupled load exceeds entered payload by 150kg; adding the 295kg towball load makes the indicated coupled exceedance 445kg. This exceeds the entered payload limit. Confirm actual weights, then reduce accessory weight or assess a vehicle with greater verified capacity.
Recalculate the complete coupled load before choosing changes
Assess net accessory changes using verified component weights. A 200kg reduction alone would not resolve the illustrative 445kg coupled-load exceedance. Confirm the fuel basis and include towball load before deciding the required reduction.
Arrange suitable loaded-weight measurements
Arrange suitable vehicle and axle measurements in the intended loaded and coupled condition. A weighing record establishes measured loads, not a safety or compliance certificate. Compare readings with the verified limits for the actual vehicle, then resolve any exceedance before towing. Seek qualified help with weighing or changes where needed.
The figures above are illustrative inputs, not verified specifications or measured weights for an actual LandCruiser. Confirm the exact variant, mass basis and accessory applicability before relying on a report. This is an example only. A purchased report uses the supplied inputs and available reference data; it does not certify safety or compliance.
