Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: The manufacturer's specifications..
The maximum weight that your vehicle can safely tow is specified by the manufacturer; and is usually set out in the drivers handbook for the vehicle; and in some cases on a plate attached to the vehicle. This is the safe towing limit for the vehicle and you should not exceed it.
