Can I tow with Toyota Camry?

[Dawn]

I have a 2001 Coleman Sante Fe (GVWR is something around 2,550 I
believe). My husband tows it with our Dodge Dakota, but I am looking
at getting a Toyota Camry. Can I tow the Sante Fe with a Camry? If
so, do I have to get the standard transmission, or can I tow it with
an automatic transmission? Do I need the V6 or any aptional tow
packages? TIA.

According to the Towing Guide section of Camping Life's Nov/Dec 2000 magazine,
the towing limit of all Toyota Camrys is 2,000#.

I would stay with the Dakota for towing....

I wouldn't reccommend it, it sound like a accident waiting to happen.

The Camry is rated to tow 2000#. A base Sante Fe weighs 1700# already
pushing you over the 75% rule. Factor in the weight of luggage, persons,
fuel, camper options, hitch etc and you end up with a grossly overloaded
vehicle that most likely won't last too long if you can keep it out of an
accident.

On the Canada Highway 2 from US border to Calgagry I saw a sedan way smaller
than Camry towing a Travel Trailer running 70MPH.

The size of the Travel Trailer is about 17ft long.

Just because a car can tow it, doesn't mean it's safe to do. I could
probably
tow a house boat with my Jeep, but I'm not about to try it!

Exactly, Just because a car can tow it, doesn't mean it's NOT safe to do.

In the UK (and possibly Canada) the Camry is rated to tow 3300 lbs (1500
KG). See http://www.towcars.co.uk for more information.

I don't know why the difference between the countries, but I doubt that
there are any significant manufacturing differences.

This is a good site for towing weights by car type.

I jus bought a 2002 Coleman Taos which is the smallest coleman popup they
make (1100 pounds). I tow it with a 2000 Jeep Cherokee with the 4.0 liter
and towing package which is rated at 5000 pounds. This trailer while being
extemenly tiny is still a noticable load on my Jeep Cherokee. I orignially
thought I may be able to tow with my 1995 Honda Accord LX which is rated at
1000 pounds. Let me tell you no way I mean yes on a straight and level road
ok but, try a hill even a small hill and the accord/camry would be wheezing
and grinding the transmission into the ground.

Find I used Cherokee, S-10, explorer or pickup and tow with ease.
