The term "towing capability" refers to a vehicle's ability to pull or haul another object, typically behind it. This can include anything from pulling a trailer with a recreational vehicle (RV) or boat, to using a chain or rope to drag an obstacle out of the way. The term often appears in specifications for vehicles such as trucks and SUVs, indicating their maximum weight capacity for towing. In general, having "towing capability" means that a vehicle is equipped with features necessary for safe and effective towing, including strong brakes, a hitch or coupling system, and appropriate tires.
