Skinny for a glorified ute, too.
They quote 4.5t towing. Betting in practice it won't be able to get anywhere near it legally. The rear axle will be maxxed-out well before that....unless no load, fuel, driver or passengers....

Axle weights:
1500 = 1770kg/1770kg
2500 = 2609kg/3176kg
3500 = can't find spec for AU

STD GU Patrol wagon has 1800kg max rear axle load.
My Patrol has 2000kg max rear axle load (GVM upgrade).
With 2 passengers, fuel, rear drawers and 200kg towball down load it's barely enough....
