An SUV can tow a trailer on the road, but it is only allowed to tow trailers with a total mass of less than 700 kilograms. Below are specific details about SUVs: Overview: SUV stands for Sport Utility Vehicle, which is different from an ORV (Off-Road Vehicle) designed for rough terrains. The full name of an SUV is sport-utility-vehicle or suburban-utility-vehicle, meaning it is a suburban multi-purpose vehicle that combines the space functionality of a station wagon with the off-road capabilities of a pickup truck. Features: SUVs are characterized by their powerful performance, off-road capability, spacious comfort, and excellent cargo and passenger-carrying functions. Some also describe an SUV as combining the comfort and refinement of a luxury sedan with the ruggedness of an off-road vehicle.

Absolutely possible to tow a trailer, but the key is to check your SUV model and modifications. Having driven SUVs for years, I've found that different brands like Toyota RAV4 or Ford Explorer are designed with towing capacity in mind, usually labeled as "towing weight" in the owner's manual, ranging roughly from 3000 to 8000 pounds. It's crucial to purchase a proper trailer hitch and install it securely, otherwise wobbling could lead to accidents. Pay attention to center of gravity balance when towing - keeping the weight between 5%-10% of the trailer length is the safe zone. Don't tow overweight items; moving boxes are fine but large boats would be dangerous. I recommend first getting your suspension and brake systems professionally inspected to ensure they meet standards, while also checking if tire pressure is appropriate. Maintain lower speeds when towing on the road, especially taking wider turns. In summary, proper trailer towing can enhance practicality, but don't neglect regular maintenance.
