If you need to tow a heavy load, an extra-large trailer, or something equally as big or hefty, it is vital that you use the appropriate vehicle for the job. Tow capacity can range anywhere from a few thousand pounds to six tons or more. It is important to know what your vehicle can handle in order to determine whether or not you need to find a different car or truck for a substantial tow. Cars, trucks, and SUV\u2019s are all options, but for larger jobs, SUV\u2019s and trucks are your best bet. They typically have the higher towing capacities and capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gross Vehicle Weight and Towing Limits<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

To calculate your vehicle\u2019s tow limit, you must first determine its gross vehicle weight rating<\/a>, or GVW. This number can often times be found on a label inside the driver\u2019s door or in the owner\u2019s manual. Take the GVW and add it to the total weight of the trailer or load you intend to tow. This will give you the GCW, or gross combination weight of your truck. This number should not exceed the GCWR, or gross combination weight rating. This is the maximum amount of weight your vehicle can haul without jeopardizing the integrity of the transmission, brakes, suspension, engine, tires, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

High Towing Capacity Vehicles to Consider<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are in the market for a new truck or SUV with a high hauling capacity, take a look at the following list for current market options for conventional ball and hitch towing.
