Hi
Does anyone tow with a Toyota Alphard and if so what is the maximum weight please? After doing some research I found that as it doesn’t have a towing weight on the identification plate any insurance will be invalidated if you tow?! I am a first time caravan buyer and now concerned my Alphard isn’t a suitable towing vehicle despite its size, weight and 3 litre engine. Thanks

Information found on Google suggests 1495kg towing capacity for the 3ltr.
Can't say I've heard of or seen one of those.

Beachgirla 1 you are correct if it doesn't having a towing weight on the plate it isn't type approved for towing and your insurance will be invalidated, can you even get a towbar for it?
As it is a Japanese import it means the Makers never got it approved most probably because over there they tend not to tow.
It might be worth joining an owners club and ask for help on there, somebody might have an answer. Good luck, let us know how you get on as it might be helpful others.
