The torque for it is 174 to 226 lb-ft, which is the amount of turning power that a car has. It has a payload between 1,065 to 1,230 lbs, which is the amount of weight it can carry inside of it. The tongue weight for it is 240 lbs, which is the downward force that the tongue of the trailer puts on the hitch. When driving while towing You should brake sooner and make wider turns at corners.
