Its in the owners manual. You’d be surprised what you can find in that little book.

1000lbs with 110lbs tongue maximum. It goes on to say 1000lbs includes the trailer and everything in it and a total of 1400lbs maximum for the car. In other words, 1000lbs trailer with 110lbs tongue and two passengers at 200lbs. Now if there is cargo in the car the people can't be as heavy at the trailer max. Or, there would have to be some adjustments.

Another way to look at this is: One wave runner max with trailer. I think two jet skis would put it at the limit. I do not think Two wave runners would work. Or, one motorcycle ..... again two would probably be too much unless they were 250 dirt bikes or less for example.

Just rough estimates for an idea of what you are up against.

If it is a small trailer to take gas, tools, slicks, generator and parts to the drags. That would be a good idea.

Here's the best way to haul stuff:
