• Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 2018 Hyundai Tucson Sel Plus
  When we research towing capacities we base it off of what the owner's manual says but for some unknown reason there are no online manuals available for a 2018 Hyundai Tucson. I did take a look at the Hyundai website and as you said it listed the SEL Plus as having a 2,000 lb towing capacity as opposed to the 1,500 lb capacity of the SE and SEL; however, it looks like the SEL Plus only has some interior features differentiating it from the SE and SEL so it would not make sense for the capacity...

• Towing Capacity of 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  You are correct that passenger and cargo weight inside a vehicle does reduce the trailer weight it can tow. A vehicle like your PT that is intended primarily to transport people may not have much trailer towing capacity if you have a full load of passengers and cargo. I checked the online owner's manual for the 2005 PT Cruiser and the manual states (on page 242) the maximum trailer weight is 1000-lbs when the total weight of passengers, luggage and cargo is no more than 865-lbs. This is...

• Recommendation for Carrying 250cc Dirt Bike with 2012 Nissan Versa Sedan

• Can 2014 Ford Mustang be Used to Tow Motorcycle Trailer
  According to the online owner's manual for your 2014 Ford Mustang you can tow up to 1,000 lbs. So if you can find a trailer that weighs under 1,000 lbs with your motorcycle loaded you will be just fine.

• Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer with a 2006 Audi A3
  I cannot go against the trailer manufacturer and tell you that a class I hitch will be fine when they recommend using a class II hitch but that seems like a rather odd request to me as most other trailer manufacturers do not specify the hitch class so long as the vehicle and hitch are both capable of pulling the weight of the trailer. Therefore, I would think you would be okay but again I can't tell you to do something the trailer manufacturer says not to. Unfortunately the only trailer...
