What's the 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport towing capacity?

The 2000 MitsubishiMontero Sport boasts A5,000-pound tow rating. That is a lot for a compact SUV. Add A-Class III receiver and Your trailer will have brakes. The tow rating, however, drops to 1,500 pounds without the extra equipment. The towing capacity is the maximum amount of weight Your vehicle can tow when pulling a trailer. Max towing capacity should not be taken lightly. Exceeding what Your vehicle is designed to tow can strain Your engine and transmission, accelerate brake wear, damage Your tires and even warp Your chassis. This could in turn trigger catastrophic failure while driving and could lead to property damage or serious injury
