Question:
I own a 2005 PT cruiser, touring edition, convertible, 2.4 L turbo engine, automatic transmission. Could you tell me if this vehicle can tow. If so, what is the limit of the towing capacity? Thank you

Helpful Expert Reply:
Based on the information I could find on your 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser it has a towing capacity of 1000lbs as long as the weight of your passengers and luggage in the vehicle does not exceed 865lbs, though you will want to verify this by checking the owner's manual of your vehicle.
For a trailer hitch receiver I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11132. To complete your towing setup you will need a vehicle wiring harness # HM11142435, drawbar # C45520, 1-7/8" hitch ball # C40001, and hitch pin and clip # F-4.
I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
