Thinking of fitting a tow bar or towing with your Toyota?
It is important to remember that not every vehicle has the same towing capacity, even if it looks similar to another model.
Before towing, you need to check:
• Your vehicle’s towing limit
• The trailer or caravan weight plate
• Braked and unbraked towing capacity
• Gross train weight
• Axle weights
• Nose weight
• Your driving licence entitlement
• Lights, tyres, mirrors, brakes and load security
For example, some vehicles may be suitable for heavier braked trailers, while others may have lower limits depending on model, year, drivetrain and specification.
At Curtis Toyota, we can help advise on Toyota tow bar options and where to find the correct vehicle information. However, it is always the driver’s responsibility to make sure the vehicle, trailer and load are legal and safe before towing.
