Towing capacity
Towing capacity is the maximum weight that a vehicle can tow; it tends to manufacturer-specified. The passenger weight, optional equipment, and an additional cargo are added into the equation to determine which vehicles that the truck can safely tow. Different car models have different towing weights. This can be found on pre-determined charts for various towns, cities, and countries. Another way of determining the towing capacity of your vehicle involves using a towing scale, which measures the total weight of the car that you plan to tow. You should make sure that it doesn’t exceed the capacity of your towing vehicle and that the weight of the vehicle being towed is spread evenly across the towing vehicle.
Exceeding towing capacity
A trailer hitch also has a limited towing capacity. You can’t do the towing even if your truck manual indicates that it can carry 2,000 kilograms and your hitch is only rated to carry 1,500 kilograms, because the hitch can end up snapping off. The towed goods might fall and spread on the road. It’s best to go for the lowest rating of weight that is displayed on the hitch in order to avoid exceeding towing capacity.
Vehicles are designed to handle a certain amount of weight. Heavier commercial trucks that regularly haul tons of cargo have more and bigger wheels for even transmittance of load weight to the ground. They also have more powerful engines, stronger braking, and suspension systems than what passenger vehicles have.
