Can I Tow A Trailer With A 2013 Toyota Camry?
Question:
Hello, I am trying to review a tow hitch for a 2013 Camry SE V6. Toyota does not provide a recommendation for weight the vehicle can tow. Does ETrailer.com have this information possibly?

Per the manufacturer, Toyota does not recommend towing any type of trailer with the 2013 Toyota Camry. The last generation of Toyota Camry's sold here in the U.S. from 2007-2011, had a max tow rating of 1000 lbs. Although I cannot recommend you tow a trailer with your Camry, a trailer hitch such as the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 36540 is perfectly capable of hauling rear mounted accessories such as a bike rack or cargo carrier.
I have attached an installation video of the Draw-Tite hitch for your review.
If you do decide to tow a trailer with your Camry, you will need a wiring harness such as the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118405 in addition to a ball mount/hitch ball such as the Class II Drawbar part # 36071 and Hitch Ball with 1-7/8" Diameter part # 19256.
