Question:
what hitch to use and capacity of car for towing
asked by: Henry S
Expert Reply:
According to the owner's manual, your vehicle has a 1000 lb towing/100 lb tongue weight capacity. You'd need to ensure the trailer weight and tongue weight (amount of downward force exerted on the trailer ball) don't exceed those capacities.
I'd recommend the Curt Class I trailer hitch, part # C11264. To complete your towing system, you'll also need the following:
Hitch Pin and Clip # PC2
# 3592 ball mount
Trailer wiring harness, part # C59236
1-7/8 inch trailer ball, part # 19256 or 2 inch ball, part # 19258
Locking hitch pin, part # e98882
