JMC Towing Capacity Calculator: Vigus Pro, Grand Avenue and the Carrying Van, Sorted
JMC is not a household name in most of the world, but across the Middle East, Africa, South America and parts of Southeast Asia, its Vigus Pro pickup fights hard against much bigger badges, and genuinely wins on value. This calculator treats the brand with the same seriousness as any premium nameplate on this site, because a real tow rating is a real tow rating no matter what logo sits on the tailgate.

A brand that doesn't need a famous badge to earn a real number
JMC gets overlooked in towing conversations simply because it isn't a household name in North America or Western Europe, but the Vigus Pro's engineering stands on its own merit across the markets it actually competes in. I built this calculator with the same rigor as any premium brand on this site, because the physics of payload and tow rating don't care what logo is on the grille.
Owners after a figure specific to their exact vehicle rather than a brochure average should use the JMC towing capacity by VIN feature above, since drivetrain and accessory fitment genuinely shift the usable payload even when the tow rating on paper stays identical. The Vigus Pro leads the range as JMC's dedicated pickup with genuinely competitive one-tonne class figures, the Grand Avenue carries similar underlying mechanicals into a seven-seat SUV body, and the Carrying rounds things out as a light commercial van built for work first and leisure towing second.
The value pickup puller
Up to 3,000 kg towing, genuinely competitive against bigger-badged one-tonne rivals.
Body-on-frame family SUV
Up to 2,500 kg, built on related mechanicals to the Vigus Pro pickup platform.
Work van, work rating
Up to 1,500 kg, sized for light trailers and equipment rather than heavy leisure duty.
No badge premium, no penalty
Every figure here comes from the same certified process as any other brand on this site.

How the figures are worked out
SAE J2807 and national type approval
Tow ratings for the Vigus Pro, Grand Avenue and Carrying follow J2807 methodology alongside the relevant national compliance framework for each market JMC sells in.
VIN structure (ISO 3779)
The 17-character VIN carries WMI, VDS and VIS segments encoding model, drivetrain and equipment used to pin down your real figure.
Payload checked first
Tow ball weight and cargo are weighed against payload before tow rating, since payload is where an accessorised Vigus Pro or loaded Carrying often runs short first.
ISO 1103 coupling
Hitch ball and coupling head compatibility, checked against the two most common hitch classes fitted across the range.
