I drive a Hyundai ix35 FWD petrol and would like to tow a Jayco Swift camper. These come with a tare weight of about 800 kg (or lighter) and a tow ball weight of about 80 kg. The ix35 is rated to tow 1600 kg and has a maximum tow ball weight of 120 kg. Do you think my SUV would tow it comfortably?
It should handle it without any trouble at all. Just remember that the tare weight doesn’t include the things you will carry in the camper, so it will weigh more when you’re towing. Also remember that the towing rating of 1600 kg is for a trailer with brakes, in the case of a trailer without brakes the rating drops to 500 kg.
