The Ford Galaxy dimensions stamp the vehicle as a full-sized people-mover, bigger than many of its peers. The dimensions are: Length 4848mm; width 1916mm; height 1747mm; wheelbase 2850mm.

The basic Fuso Canter dimensions are the same across the range, but variations to all the following dimensions will occur depending on what rear axle and cargo-body is fitted. So, the basic dimensions are: Height (at cabin) 2110mm; width 1869mm; length 4985mm; wheelbase 2800mm.

The 2020 Dodge Durango towing capacity varies according to which engine is fitted. The 3.6-litre V6 can legally tow 2912kg, the 5.7-litre V8 can handle 3356kg and the biggest engine, the 6.4-litre V8 has a towing limit of 3946kg.

In standard form the 2020 Ford Expedition towing capacity is 2993kg (apart from the base-model 4X4 version which can tow slightly less 2948kg). But if you option up the factory heavy-duty towing package consisting of an electronic limited-slip differential, larger capacity radiator and an integrated brake-controller, the towing limit jumps to anything from 4082 to 4218kg (depending on driveline and specification level).

Are you sitting comfortably? Good, because this gets complex, with the manufacturer listing a huge range of variations of its 2020 Nissan Frontier towing capacity, depending on the body style, engine and transmission fitted. It breaks down like this:

Frontier S: King Cab manual – 1724kg; King Cab auto – 1719kg; Crew Cab 4X2 manual – 3012kg; Crew Cab 4X2 auto – 3003kg; Crew Cab 4X4 – 2889kg.

Frontier SV: King Cab 4-cyl manual – 1728kg; King Cab 4-cyl auto – 1719kg; King Cab V6 2WD – 3048kg; King Cab V6 4X4 – 2952kg; Crew Cab 4X2 – 3012kg; Crew Cab long-bed 4X2 – 2948kg; Crew Cab long-bed 4X4 – 2835kg.

Frontier Desert Runner: King Cab – 3035kg; Crew Cab – 3003kg.

Frontier Pro-4X: Crew Cab manual – 2867kg; Crew Cab auto – 2853; King Cab – 2926kg.

Frontier SL: Crew Cab 4X2 – 2939kg; Crew Cab 4X4 – 2830kg.

The Honda Ridgeline towing capacity depends on the layout of its driveline. Front-wheel-drive models can tow a braked trailer of 1600kg, while the all-wheel-drive Ridgeline can legally tow (in the US where it’s sold) 2270kg.

To maximise the Toyota Highlander’s towing capacity, you need to option the 3.5-litre V6 engine and specify the optional towing package. At that point, you can use the Highlander to tow a braked trailer of 2270kg. Interestingly, even the Hybrid version of the Highlander is rated to tow 1600kg, something that not all manufacturers will allow in their hybrid models. The anomaly with the Highlander, though, is that the two highest-spec models trim-wise aren’t offered with a factory tow-bar option as this would interfere with the automatic tailgate triggering sensors that live just under the rear of the car…right where the tow-bar would be bolted.

In the North American market, the Honda Pilot towing capacity is 1600kg in the case of the two-wheel-drive version. If you buy the more expensive all-wheel-drive model, the towing capacity increases to 2270kg.

The MY2020 Toyota Tacoma towing capacity is listed by the manufacturer as 6400kg. That’s been made possible by Toyota fitting V6 versions of the Tacoma with an engine, transmission and power-steering coolers as well as a larger, 130-amp alternator.

The Ford F450 towing capacity is often quoted as 14.1 tonnes. But this is a little misleading, as that is only allowable when the vehicle is fitted with a fifth-wheel or gooseneck towing arrangement. In the case of a conventional tow-bar arrangement, the F450 is limited to a braked trailer of 9.6 tonnes, still plenty for most jobs.
