Peugeot Towing Capacity Calculator: The Lion Badge's Quiet Towing Range
Peugeot doesn't shout about towing the way pickup brands do, but the Landtrek pickup and the 5008's genuine 1,800 kg figure quietly cover more ground than people expect from a brand known for stylish hatchbacks. This calculator identifies your exact Peugeot in one step, VIN or picker, then gives you the honest number.

A design-first badge that quietly builds genuine haulers too
Owners after a figure specific to their exact car rather than a brochure average should use the Peugeot towing capacity by VIN feature in the identify panel above, since engine and trim choice genuinely shift the certified number across the 5008 and 3008 lineups. The Landtrek leads with genuine pickup capability, the 5008 follows with a strong seven-seat SUV figure, the 3008 carries a solid compact SUV number, the Partner offers real light commercial capacity, and the 208, 308, 2008 and e-208 simply were not built with a tow bar in mind, which this calculator states plainly.
The pickup newcomer
Up to 3,000 kg, a genuinely competitive figure entering established pickup markets.
Seven seats, real muscle
Up to 1,800 kg, a strong figure for a family SUV.
Compact SUV and van duty
Solid, genuinely usable figures for everyday towing needs.
No guessed numbers
208, 308, 2008 and e-208 get a clear not-rated notice, not a fabricated figure.

How the figures and the score are worked out
EU type approval / SAE J2807
Ratings for the Landtrek, 5008, 3008 and Partner with a factory tow bar follow EU Whole Vehicle Type Approval mass certification or the equivalent J2807 methodology.
VIN structure (ISO 3779)
The 17-character VIN carries WMI, VDS and VIS segments encoding model, engine and equipment used to pin down your real figure, whichever entry method you choose.
Payload checked first
Tow ball weight and cargo are weighed against payload before tow rating, since payload is where a loaded 5008 or 3008 often runs short first.
The Tow Confidence Index
All six checks (payload, GVM, GCM, tow rating, tow ball weight, hitch class) are weighted and rolled into one 0 to 100 score, so you get a single honest read instead of six numbers to reconcile yourself.
