You'll of course get lots of differing opinions. Here's mine. We've flat towed a 2700 lb. Chevy Sonic for years behind a 2003 30 ft. Class C with the Ford V-10. Just traded for a 3000 lb. Ford Focus. This was a big decision. Really wanted to tow a 2600 lb. Honda Fit but for various reasons went with the heavier Ford. Towing just about anything increases braking distance and slows performance. 3000 lb. would be my arbitrary limit because, even with the Sonic, hill climbing and stopping was not a breeze. I think my MH manual suggest not even towing but when I calculated the numbers it seemed I could tow much more than the 3000 lbs. but I know I would not like the performance. I wish it were mores straightforward like the manual in most vehicles that clearly states towing limits but it's not. Definitely you can tow it, but do you want to?
