7 seater cars that can tow caravans

Yes, plenty of 7-seat wagons can haul a caravan without breaking a sweat—or your ego. Think Toyota LandCruiser 300 and Nissan Patrol with 3,500 kg braked ratings, plus Ford Everest, Isuzu MU-X and similar SUVs also at up to 3,500 kg; Toyota Prado and Mitsubishi Pajero Sport sit around 3,000–3,100 kg.

The trick is matching the van to your GVM, GCM and towball download (often 300–350 kg max), because payload evaporates fast once you add passengers, fuel, and a fridge the size of Perth.

For family sanity, look for trailer brakes, factory towing packs, integrated brake controllers, and a transmission cooler if you’ll be dragging uphill in summer.

Do the sums, weigh the rig, and you’ll be laughing at swaying vans from a safe, smug distance. Consult official documentation for exact figures.
