How much can I tow?  I want to tow a pop up.

This is a regular vehicle, so yes it has to be registered. If you're asking for the towing capacity, it can be looked up by vin#.

Look in your owners manual but I think it is rated at 2,700 pounds and at that weight you need trailer brakes. Take it easy and keep the weight down or you may be in for a very expensive CVT replacement.
