Tow weight limit for a 2 different vehicles

Postby Shadow98258 » Tue Oct 30, 2012 6:13 pm

Does anyone know the towing limit for a 1998 Suzuki Sidekick (sohc, 4 cyl, auto) and a Saturn L300 sedan (6 Cyl)? Also what the max tongue weight for each would be?

Can't you find that info in the specs on the manufacturer's web sites? Google is your friend :)

You were right GuitarPhotog..Google is your friend. :roll: I learned that each of my vehicles is capable of towing 1,000 Pounds. But how does tongue weight factor in?

Here is a basic guide on towing: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71qhtmz2qRS.pdf

This will give you a basic understanding of tongue weight.

if your sidekick is anything like my Chevy Tracker
then it is 1500 pound and 2000 pounds braked axle so it makes it kinda hard to build around those weight restrictions but the challenge will be worth it Those things can go any where
