BYD Shark 6 Towing Capacity and Payload Australia 2026, Premium vs Performance vs Cab Chassis
Waqas Afzal18 Min Read
The 2026 BYD Shark 6 range gives Australian buyers three distinctly different towing and load-carrying options. The Dynamic Cab Chassis and Premium are rated to tow 2500kg braked, while the Shark 6 Performance increases maximum braked towing capacity to 3500kg. The headline towing number does not tell the whole story. Kerb weight, GVM, GCM, towball download, passengers, accessories and cargo all determine how much weight a Shark 6 can realistically carry while towing. The heavier Performance has the highest towing capacity but also the lowest nominal payload of the three variants. This guide compares the Shark 6 Dynamic Cab Chassis, Premium and Performance, explains payload and towball weight with practical examples, and shows what Australian caravan, touring and work-ute buyers should calculate before hitching a heavy trailer.
