Does anyone know the towing capacity of the mighty feroza.

Daniel

Pretty sure its 1500kg mate

1500kg seems a bit high to me?

Just found this old thread:

...manual on page 17-2 1500kg braked and 500kg without brake....

I know the brakes are sadly lacking once you put a trailer on behind- and I've got upgraded front brake pads too!

I've always found the brakes to be exceptionally good for a 4by. I towed a trailer with 2 dirt bikes and heaps of camping gear all over western NSW and occasionally did "emergency stops" to test them....pulled up very nicely. Have also towed a 6.3m fibreglass boat several times, and although it was in excess of rated tow cap., she still pulled up fantastically.

Not sure about Narrow Track though??

Thank's for the thread and all your input. Thinking about buying a caravan weighs 1065kg with brakes so should be alright. I was just worried about legall capacity cause it's a 16' caravan and the feroza looks a bit small pulling it, so I didn't want too attract attention. If it's legall towing capacity is 1500kg braked then I don't have any problems.

Cheers
Daniel

The brakes are the same for both. I'm running Metal King Plus front pads and with a loaded trailer I certainly feel the extra weight pushing it along when stopping. I wouldn't like to have to pull up in a hurry.

bit late now since you have sold the feroza, but the daihatsu feroza legal towing capacity is 1100kg braked, taken directly from an australian vehicle tow mass regulation manual. but might help any one else who may wanna know

Thanks dude, can we include that in the FAQ?

Can we find out the same imfo for rocky's??

I'm sure we can.

But, alas, Google is NOT your friend in this instance.

Anybody with the manual or even the little owner's manual?

Google has all answers... never doubt it..... you just have to use it properly

"youll also get a hefty 3,500kg towing capacity"

This seems a little high.. but it is definately stated somewhere by Hatsu

Yeah, you'll find that the TD has a higher capacity than the petrol models though.

BTW, did you guys know that a Rocky was the first vehicle to ever tow a caravan across the Simpson Desert?

Yeah, I only talk about the 'real' Rocky's... lol

can find out but it varies from model, usually goes of the overall vehicle mass and not engine capacity. will post up in the next few days
