Determining how much weight your vehicle can tow is the primary factor in deciding what RV to buy. Whether you own a mid-sized SUV or a duly pick up truck, unless you’re planning to buy a new truck to fit your RV, it’s important to know what your limitations are with your existing vehicle. Pulling too much weight puts stress on your tow vehicle’s engine and transmission. On the other hand, you want an RV that’s large enough to fit all your travel companions comfortably.
Here at Explore USA RV we want to make sure you are confident in your purchase. That is why we are happy to provide an accurate, up to date Tow Guide showing the weight rating of various tow vehicles available on the market as new as 2017 and as far back as 1999. This way, you are able to choose just the right RV to suit your vehicle quickly and easily. Looking for a light weight camper that your minivan can tow? Not sure if your half ton truck can pull a mid profile fifth wheel? Find Out the Answer Here!
Each yearly guide is broken down into sections by make, model and by engine type. If you know this information, you will then know how much you can tow. From there, you can compare dry weight ratings, also known as unloaded vehicle weight (UVW), on RVs that interest you.
Our Tow Guides are also a handy reference if you are in the market to buy a tow vehicle and want to get the biggest bang for your buck. There’s nothing more discouraging than purchasing a brand new truck with the exclusive purpose to pull an RV such as a luxury fifth wheel toy hauler only to find that the truck’s tow rating is not as high as you originally thought.
