Great video. Very easy to understand all the technical jargon for non mechanical people. Thanks.

The Patrol has a 3500kg maximum towing capacity with a 350kg Maximum Towball Mass (TBM), and a Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) of 3500kg (payload is 750kg). Its Gross Combined Mass (GCM) is 7000kg, meaning you can tow to its maximum 3500kg capacity with the Patrol loaded to its 3500kg maximum.16 Sept 2018

A really good video. Lots of top advice and well delivered by the guys.
Just one thing that needs further clarification. "Diesel is not flammable".

In the hazardous goods world diesel is rated as combustible due to its higher flashpoint (at +60c ish) than flammable liquids like petrol (at -40c ish).
The take away should be that both will burn but diesel safer in normal conditions.
