I'm in the search mode for looking for a vintage trailer to call my own. But I have heard you need a truck to pull it....I own a chevy aveo.
Thanks for your input. |

Check the owner's manual of the vehicle or the vehicle specs online to see what the towing weight limit is.

yes to all the above. another advantage we found with a jeep is it can also be towed in neutral. i know your pulling a trailer. we had a motor home. so needed a car we could pull without ruining the tranny. we pulled a 2 horse trailer today over the cascade mtns. to get a cow. no problems. happy day sherrye

It depends on the size and the length. For instance the Tear Drop that Mary Jane sells can easily be pulled by most cars. You need to know the weight and length. Then when you get your trailer hitch put on it they will tell you the weight you can pull with it. You will want to know the dry weight of the trailer and then keep it a good 500 to 1000 lbs under what your hitch can tow that way when you have all your stuff in it-clothes, maybe water, etc, you won't be going over your weight limit. Oh and your motor (I think) also has something to do with the amount of weight your vehicle will be able to tow safely.
