Draft:List of Vehicles by Towing Capacity

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In response to a commonly asked question on a number of online forums I have decided a page listing vehicles by towing capacity would be a good reference material. PLEASE NOTE: FOR THE LISTED RATINGS TO BE ACCURATE THE VEHICLE, TRIALER, AND TOWING CONNECTION EQUIPMENT MUST BE IN GOOD OPERATING CONDITION, PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND CONNECTED, AND PROPERLY OPERATED. DEVIANCE FROM THOSE CONDITIONS WILL RESULT IN A TOWING CAPACITY LOWER THAN THE LISTED LIMITS.

There is good general information this these articles:
