Not much towing capacity on these cars. I have seen small tire trailers and Kayak trailers. To calculate your towing capacity, find the Gross Vehicle Weight for your car and subtract the weight of the car fully loaded with gas, gear, and people for the weekend. GVW can be found on the driver door.
For example:
The GVW for my car is 3439 lbs, Fully loaded with gear and people it might weigh 3300 lbs (wife doesn't pack light). My towing capacity is 139lbs. No teardrop trailer in my future behind this car.
I will have to take the Silverado with 12000 lb GVW.
