What can I tow with 5,000 pounds capacity?
I just bought my dream vehicle and it has a 5,000-pound towing capacity. That seems like a huge amount to me, but I can’t quite quantify what items that I could hitch to the back would weigh that much. Enlighten me—what can I tow with 5,000 pounds capacity?

We hope you have tons of fun adventures with your new and super powerful dream vehicle! To answer your question—you can tow a lot with a 5,000-pound towing capacity.
Here are a few items to get you started:
- A 23-foot camper (4,200 pounds)
- A 16-foot livestock trailer (3,500 pounds)
- A trailer containing four horses (4,500 pounds)
Ultimately, knowing the weight of what you’re towing (such as a boat, jet skis, motorcycles, etc) will help you determine whether or not your vehicle’s towing capacity can handle it.
