Harsh view @Bluey but true mate, a sale is a sale and it is our responsibility not theirs to be legal on the road. I see it every time I go away mate and can not believe some of the set ups on the road, I have seen a ford falcon with a kayak on the roof, fully loaded with people towing a 25ft New Age Van. That my friend is a bit different to your Prado and your van, you and I both know that the vehicle is more than capable of its duties you require it to do, and you have it set up accordingly, its just a technicality in your case where as others its pure neglect.
When I collected my van the sales manager stopped another delivery happening as the arches were scrubbing on the tyres of the tow vehicle and the arse end was dragging along the floor, pretty bad mate let me tell you. He got the van delivered to their house after a lecture on other peoples safety on the road and told him to basically "pull your head in if you think you are going to tow with that".
Anyhow, I can help you with that issue matey, you should see the Y61 Patrol I have here, it has your name all over it, always thinking you when I get stuff like this in.

All good guys, I will inbox again.
Gee I'm glad @mikerezny covered this with that great post with the pic, while I'm on top of this weight stuff but with a few years of 22 wheels to worry about it still does my head in trying to explain and many worry to much about tare weights on plates, just ignore them they are an artificial base line which doesn't exist .......................when we needed to know exactly how much the vehicle could be loaded with, we had the truck set up with it's basics, tool box, spares, full fuel, driver and lunch box then put it on the scales, this would be the real world tare not the one on the compliance plate, weighed each axle this then showed us how much we could put on, even then we could blow it as while the mass was correct one set of axles could be over while another would be under so the stuff would be moved . This applies to tug/van coombo's as well, your tug tare on the plate is fantasy also.......
Aircraft would be easy, watched Loadies with the slide rule and weight of each bit of kit, then crack up when the late box turns up and they have to move everything....................hey you 6 blokes sit down the back here and don't move...
