The towing capacity for the 2003 Toyota RAV4 is only 1,500Lbs, which is the amount of weight that can be pulled behind the vehicle. It has a torque of 142 lb-ft, which is the amount of turning power that a vehicle has. It has a payload of 1,047 to 1,235 lbs, which is the amount of weight that can be carried inside. It has a tongue weight oF-150 lbs, which is the downward force that the tongue of the trailer puts on the hitch. You should always be safe when towing such as doing safety checks before driving. Always check the tires, the brake lights and that the trailer is secured correctly. When driving You should make wider turns at curves and corners and brake sooner than expected.
