Will your load fit? Top-down, side-on and rear tray checks for Australian utes
Pick a ute and the simulator draws your load against that model's real factory tray, pulled live from the CarSorted database: tray length and floor width, the usable width between the wheel arches, tray-wall height and rated payload. Choose a standard AU, Euro or half pallet, or set a custom length, width, weight and stack height, and it shows whether the load fits and how much payload and tray length are left.
Load weight is quantity multiplied by weight per item, checked against the manufacturer-rated payload (or GVM minus kerb weight where payload isn't published). The rear view flags a load that's wider than the gap between the wheel arches, and the side view flags a stack taller than the tray walls.
The illustration is schematic and not to scale, but every figure driving the fit and payload checks is the vehicle's own data. Wheel-arch height is an indicative estimate where the manufacturer doesn't publish it.
Figures are indicative planning guidance only. Confirm payload, tray dimensions and load-restraint requirements with the manufacturer and the National Transport Commission Load Restraint Guide before loading.
Payload 790 kg · tray 1,450 mm × 1,500 mm · braked towing 2,500 kg
kerb 2,710 kg + load 250 kg
laden 2,960 kg + trailer 0 kg
GVM is the most your loaded ute can legally weigh; GCM is the most the ute plus a loaded trailer can weigh together. Towing a heavy trailer eats into your legal tray payload. Verify with the manufacturer before loading.
