What is the towing capacity of the new Nissan Patrol Y63?

Nissan Australia has confirmed a maximum braked towing capacity of 3,700 kg for every Y63 Patrol grade, when fitted with a genuine Nissan towbar. That is 200 kg more than the outgoing Y62 Patrol and 200 kg more than a Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series.

What is the GVM and GCM of the Nissan Patrol Y63?

Nissan Australia has not yet published GVM, GCM, kerb mass or tow ball download for the Y63 Patrol. Those figures are expected with the full specification sheet ahead of first deliveries in early 2027. Until then, treat any GVM or GCM number you see online as an estimate and check the compliance plate of the actual vehicle.

Can the Y63 Patrol really tow 3,700 kg with a family on board?

Only if the GCM allows it. Towing 3,700 kg leaves whatever is left of the GCM for the loaded vehicle itself. If the Y63 carries over the Y62's 7,000 kg GCM, a 3,700 kg trailer leaves 3,300 kg for the Patrol itself, passengers and accessories. The tow ball download is already part of the trailer's 3,700 kg, but it still counts toward the Patrol's GVM. Weigh the combination rather than assuming the headline number.

Does the tow ball weight come out of the Patrol's payload?

Yes. Tow ball download is carried by the vehicle, so it counts against GVM and against the rear axle limit. A 3,500 kg van with 10 per cent ball weight puts 350 kg onto the Patrol before you load a single passenger.

When does the Y63 Patrol arrive in Australia?

Orders opened in August 2026 with first Australian customer deliveries expected in early 2027. The range spans six grades from $98,990 for the Ti to $145,990 for the Ti-L Reserve, plus on-road costs.
