I have a 1998 Vitara and I wish to put a tow bar on it. What is the maximum weight I can tow? I am looking to two a horse box with it.

Thanks for you help

It's not so much the wieght but the drag. I have a 95 jlx 1.6 16v. I can pull 2250 with no problem but, over 40 and up as the air drag increases it's really hard on it. A/F gauge rides over 90%. But 30yrds behind a semi it'll run fine and get 23mpg. My trailer is about 2ft higher than the Kicker.
