Why is Hitch Made for 2022 Toyota Venza Hybrid if Manufacturer Says No Towing

Question:

Can the 2022 Venza Hybrid Tow? Some info says No but others say Yes to 3500 lbs? You must agree yes as you show a video of installation on a Venza 21 but a 2022 Limited Hybrid?

I pulled up the online owners manual of your 2022 Toyota Venza and Toyota states that it is not recommended to tow with your vehicle which is why they also do not list a towing capacity. So this begs the very valid question of why do we have hitches that fit your vehicle like the Curt # C89UR that you referenced which fits the hybrid models. The answer is that against manufacturer advice many people will still use the vehicle for towing or carrying bike racks so since there is a demand for it the hitch manufacturers will make the fit and allow people to make their own choice in that regard.

We also have custom fit trailer wiring for the vehicle as well with the # TK77VR.
