What is the Dodge Journey’s maximum towing capacity?

I recently bought a used Dodge Journey and I was wondering if I would be able to hitch my trailer to it or not.

Congratulations on your purchase! I know the process of buying a used car can be very stressful and I’m glad you got it over with.
How much your Dodge Journey can tow depends on
the car’s trim
. Many of the higher trim levels for the 2019 Dodge Journey have a maximum towing capacity of 2,500 pounds, while the value trim has a capacity of just 1,000 pounds.
With a towing capacity of 2,500 pounds, you can comfortably tow many trailers as well as:
  • ATVS
  • Dirt Bikes
  • Small Boats
Before towing anything, be sure to double-check that your
tow bar
is properly equipped and that the weight of whatever you hauling doesn’t exceed your maximum.
If you purchase a 2020 Dodge Journey, you’ll be stuck with the 1,000-pound maximum towing capacity no matter your trim. Because of this, purchasing an earlier model may be worthwhile.
Whether you buy a used car or you opt for something brand new, the stress of purchasing a vehicle isn’t over until you’ve paired it with a car insurance plan. If you don’t want to spend hours comparing insurance rates, consider downloading Jerry.
