While Thor states you, your passengers, your stuff, and your tow shouldn’t exceed 5,000 lb, I have seen people towing 4,000 to 6,000 lb cars and trucks on the back of their rv.

I agree. I think if you are overweight and get in an accident, the insurance company will say you were unsafe. Also Thor might say you voided the warranty because you were over weight.

I am now looking for a car that is under 3500 lbs that I can flat tow. Any suggestion?

Newbie question

Jim and Roy

If the tow minus the maximum capacity equal 18450, and the rv is 18000, does that mean if I tow the car, the weight of my wife, myself, and our stuff can’t exceed 450 lb?
