Tow Ratings for Teardrop Trailers
We often get asked about what new cars can tow a High Camp teardrop trailer and luckily Trailer Life magazine publishes an annual listing of Towing Capacities for new vehicles. This is a great resource if you are thinking about upgrading your tow vehicle or are just checking your existing car or truck's towing capacity. You can check your vehicle's towing capacity rating by clicking the link below for your car's model year:

One thing to note: Trailer Life's ratings only include vehicles with a minimum towing capacity of 2,000 pounds. For anyone thinking about upgrading their tow vehicle for getting a teardrop trailer, we believe this is a good starting point as well. While a car or truck with a 1,500 pound towing capacity will do the job, having a little more towing capacity is always preferred.
