What car can pull a 16-foot travel trailer?
I just bought a 16-foot travel trailer on the cheap. It was such a great deal that I really didn’t think about what car I needed to pull the trailer home or take it on road trips. What cars have the capability to pull a 16-foot travel trailer?

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
The average 16-foot travel trailer weighs between 2,500 and 3,000 pounds, not including the contents inside. To that effect, a car that can pull a 16-foot travel trailer needs to have a towing capacity of around 3,000 to 4,000 pounds.
Here are a few options that can get the job done without being overly powerful or guzzling gas:
- Mitsubishi Outlander (3,500 pounds)
- Ford Escape (3,500 pounds)
- Chevrolet Equinox (3,500 pounds)
- Subaru Forester (3,000 pounds)
- Jeep Grand Cherokee (4,500 pounds)
- Toyota RAV4 Adventure (3,500 pounds)
- Chevrolet Colorado (3,500 pounds)
- Toyota Tacoma (3,500 pounds)
After getting a trailer, make sure that you have the right car insurance coverage to protect it. One great place to find affordable coverage for your car and trailer is with the
