You want to use the Toyota Hilux also as a towing vehicle for trailers? In order to answer this question many different aspects, such as whether a trailer hitch (AHK) is available at all, the torque, and the maximum towing capacity.

With this automotive, thanks to the maximum towing capacity of 3500 kg, you can tow virtually anything that wants to be towed privately (caravan, horse trailer, boat) or professionally (larger machines, heavy material).
torque affects the Toyota Hilux how much the trailer load affects acceleration. Torque is available at 400 Nm, which is already a decent value and guarantees that you won't have any problems getting off the mark as a rule. If you want to take the trailer off-road, all-wheel drive is absolutely essential. On surfaces where you would otherwise have no problems, the additional weight of the trailer quickly becomes noticeable and a real problem. It's a good thing that this automobile distributes the power over all four wheels.

However, this offer does not yet include trailer hitch and must be ordered in addition.
