Can an SUV or crossover tow a camper?

Many can tow small campers and pop-ups, and some body-on-frame and larger SUVs can handle sizeable travel trailers. Ratings vary widely, from around a thousand pounds on some small crossovers to several thousand on larger SUVs, so check the exact configuration. Remember payload, tongue weight and trailer length also matter for stability. For heavy or long trailers, a full-size SUV or pickup with a factory tow package is usually the better fit.
