Yeah empty they do have a 4.5 tonne towing capacity apparently...but they also have a meager 800kg carrying capacity...so if you were to drop 450kg on the tow ball, add the weight of the towbar itself, you'd be down to a payload of around 300kg.
add 95kg's of fuel and a couple of bodies and you are close to GVM. So forget the bull bar, side steps and canopy...
But, that said, you are still miles in front of the regular Japanese farm truck on the road towing a van...
