Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum towing capacity for a Toyota Corolla?
The maximum towing capacity varies by model year and region. In the US, most Corolla models are not rated for towing, while European models can typically tow up to 1,300 lbs (600 kg) unbraked or 1,500 lbs (700 kg) braked.
Can I tow with a Toyota Corolla hybrid?
