Cars that can tow at least 3 000 kg
Models ranked by ascending towing capacity. Handy to pick the right car for your caravan weight.
Cars that tow at least 3,000 kg : heavy 4x4 and pickup territory
What this threshold covers : 3,000 kg is heavyweight class: double-cab pickups, large utility 4x4s (Land Cruiser, Defender, Wrangler, Ranger), Tesla Model X and a handful of very high-end electric SUVs. At this towing level: mini-digger trailer, three-horse trailer, towed motorhome, large cabin boat.
Who it fits : Professionals, landscapers, equine professionals, high-end boaters. For private use, this threshold is usually overkill for caravan duty.
Watch out : Above 3,000 kg, a B+E entitlement is almost always required in the UK and in France. Fuel or energy consumption while towing rises sharply: on electric, expect range to roughly halve.
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.
