How much can the Tour x trailer

It's rated for 1,000 lbs her in the USA, but as you can see from the video it has more capability under the proper circumstances.

Thank you that makes me feel a lot better towing a full-size dresser Bike

That 1000 lbs rating applies only to the TourX, not the Sportback.

Ratings from overseas do not apply in the US. The US has a specific towing standard test that is based on the speeds and terrain found in the US.

SAE J2807 Tow Tests - The Standard

Take this for what it’s worth, but an ‘official’ Buick rep on Facebook stated an updated 4500lb capacity. I’ll try and find the thread.

I personally wouldn’t go that much, but to each their own.

As I said before it has 0 towing capacity per owners manual.
Until they send me a correction to it, they could get off being sued or war. repairs. I would love to see you in court with your owners manual...

Ask Buick directly or the dealership, get it in writing. Anything on the misinformation highway may not always be accurate and does need to apply to USA sold market vehicle.

See attached. I've also messaged directly, specifically asking is it 5000 lbs or 0 as the owner's manual states.

Wow, about 1500lbs more than my old 4dr wrangler

I’d say there’s zero chance of that rating, but what’s truly remarkable, is that their customer engagement team would put something like that out there.

Right? Sarah O. better be ready for some questions...

While 5000 sounds impressive, I'll wait for an official update to the owner's manual. I don't plan on towing anything that big, but it would be nice to have more than the 1000 limit.

That Buick rep is wrong. It is not rated for 5000 lbs.

The original owners manual that was released shortly before the car went on sale said no towing capacity.

The manual was later updated listing 1000 lbs capacity for only the TourX.

Sooo ...GM does not provide update pages to owners, for their manuals anymore?
PS I keep wanting to forget, Chevy runs GM now... I mean ruins...

 

[toga94m]

I would think the latest manual should be available here.. but this PDF hasn't been touched since June 2018.

[2007LucerneCXL]

Beyond the 1000lb limit there is additional information that will need to be added to know your total towing capacity. Read all the information under the highlights as this may be the only thing you will be towing. LOL

^Haha I saw those stipulations as well. I was hoping to tow a small camper at some point but may have to settle for one of those tiny teardrop campers.

 

[2007LucerneCXL]

Yes sir, 4 guys going fishing and then you have to decide if want to bring the boat or the outboard motor, but you can't bring both LMAO.

I had the dealer install the Buick accessories trailer hitch. It is made by Kurt. They told me when I picked it up that it is good up to 3500 lbs.
