What kind of towing capabilities does your N Charlotte Toyota have?
- 1,000 pounds or less: Typically a sedan or crossover can take on loads of this weight category.
- More than 1,000 pounds: This category gets split – N Charlotte Toyota SUVs can typically handle more weight than a sedan, but for heavy-duty jobs you'll want to put a new Toyota truck to the test. (For example, the 2014 Toyota Tundra can tow up to 8,100 pounds.)
Adjust driving habits when towing with your new Toyota!
- You've got a lot more weight behind you than normal, so you should always leave more braking distance to allow for extra room when you bring your N Charlotte Toyota to a stop.
- You can't switch lanes as quickly – you need to account for the extra length behind you and make sure there's enough space when you get over. Same goes for turns – sharp turns are NEVER a good idea when you're towing!
- Also keep in mind that other drivers need to be able to predict your movements, so you should ensure your cargo has brake lights and turn signals hooked up to the trailer if possibly.
