Cars that can tow at least 2 500 kg
Models ranked by ascending towing capacity. Handy to pick the right car for your caravan weight.
Cars that tow at least 2,500 kg : 4x4 and commercial territory
What this threshold covers : At 2,500 kg of towing capacity, you enter the world of large 4x4s, pickups and heavy commercial vehicles. Use cases: loaded two-horse trailer, plant trailers, large twin-axle caravan loaded for a long stay, cabin boats up to 7 metres.
Who it fits : Professionals, farmers, cabin-boat owners, multi-horse owners. Out of reach for regular saloons and combustion SUVs.
Watch out : At this threshold, the towing capacity to power ratio is no longer the only criterion: low-end torque and the quality of the whole outfit's braking (braked trailer mandatory) become decisive for safe descents.
This ranking lists the cars whose towing capacity reaches at least the chosen threshold, from the tightest to the most capable. Start from your loaded caravan weight to find the models that make it, refine with another threshold below or compare two specific models.
