Acura TLX towing capacity by generation

Generation windows are reference metadata. Towing and payload figures are calculated only from years present in our dataset.

Acura TLX payload capacity by year

Payload includes passengers, cargo and trailer tongue weight. It is not the same limit as maximum trailer weight.

YearMinimum payloadMaximum payloadConfigurations with payload dataExplore

Values are calculated from configurations currently in our dataset.

Towing capacity is not the only limit

The usable towing limit can be lower than the headline trailer rating. Depending on the vehicle and hitch, these limits can all matter:

  • Max trailer weight — published towing capacity for a configuration
  • Payload — people, cargo, equipment and tongue weight on the tow vehicle
  • GVWR — gross vehicle weight rating
  • GCWR — gross combined weight rating
  • GAWR — axle ratings (front/rear)
  • Hitch rating — hitch and receiver limits
  • Tongue weight — typically a fraction of trailer weight, counted against payload
