The 2017 Toyota Corolla has the ability to tow a small trailer, but the manufacturer advises against installing a hitch or using it for towing due to the risk of damaging the CVT transmission. The manual transmission-equipped Corolla can technically tow up to 1,500 pounds, with a maximum tongue weight of 200 pounds. Featuring a 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine with 132 horsepower and a curb weight of 2820 pounds, the Corolla offers various trim levels like the L, LE, LE Eco, XLE, SE, and XSE. The SE model comes with a 6-speed manual transmission and is better suited for towing. Although most models have the 1.8-liter engine and CVT transmission with 132 horsepower and 128 lb-ft of torque, they are not recommended for towing purposes.
The towing ability of a 2017 Toyota Corolla can range from 992 to 2,866 pounds, depending on the specific equipment it has.
