2015 Buick Encore: What is the towing capacity including torque, payload, and tongue weight?

A 2015 Buick Encore equipped with the active package will have a maximum capacity oF-1500 pounds. Normal models that do not have this upgrade will not be able to tow anything unless modifications are done to the vehicle. The tongue weight capacity will only be 300 pounds. Additionally this vehicle will have a payload capacity of 1000 pounds so that leaves You with a maximum amount of weight You can hall at one ton when distributed between the vehicle and what You're towing. The torque output for the 1.4L 4Cylinder engine is 148 lb-ft. This is impressive for a such a small engine but is still a very low amount of torque.
