Towing Capacity
The total trailer weight (including all cargo and additional equipment), and the trailer tongue
weight, must never exceed the following:
Tires
Maximum Towing
Capacity*
Maximum Tongue Weight**
20" or 22"
2250 kg
90 kg
*Tesla recommends a separate braking system on trailers with a loaded weight of over 450 kg. The
braking system must be appropriate for the weight of the trailer. Follow the instructions provided
by the trailer brake manufacturer to ensure that trailer brakes are properly installed, adjusted, and
maintained.
**The tongue weight is the downward force that the weight of the trailer exerts on the hitch. It
must not be less than 4% of the trailer load. Carrying a significant amount of equipment,
passengers, or cargo in the tow vehicle can reduce the tongue weight it can handle, which also
reduces the maximum towing capacity. Maximum towing capacity is calculated assuming the
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) is not exceeded. The GVWR is printed on the Statutory
Plate (see
