Understanding Toyota Hitchless Towing
Hitchless towing, also known as dinghy towing or flat towing, allows you to tow your Toyota vehicle behind another vehicle like an RV. This method requires specific equipment and understanding of your vehicle’s capabilities.
Important: Always consult your Toyota owner’s manual and local regulations before attempting any form of towing. Requirements vary by country, state, and vehicle model.
Key Factors in Hitchless Towing
Vehicle Curb Weight: The weight of your vehicle without passengers or cargo. This forms the baseline for towing calculations.
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR): The maximum allowable total weight of your vehicle when loaded, including passengers, cargo, and the towed load.
Payload Capacity: The difference between GVWR and curb weight, representing how much additional weight your vehicle can safely carry.
Global Towing Standards
Towing regulations vary worldwide. In the United States, follow FMVSS standards. In Europe, ECE regulations apply. Australia follows ADR guidelines. Always check local requirements before towing.
