looking for a light weight toad

Can't get much smaller than a FIAT.

Unless you go for a smart ;)

What year is your rig?

I ask because at least for 2013, the 24 foot Chateau "C" with a Ford Chassis has a combined weight rating allowing for 6,000 pounds above the dry weight of the vehicle. Link to specs

You have to subtract the weight of everything you put aboard from that number to arrive at your towing capacity....even assuming you load 2,000 pounds into the rig, you'd still have around 4,000 left.

Many small cars/CUV's/small pickups weigh less than or close to that.

Need to change the title to "Light Weight Toad". I was expection to read about someone trying to tow with a Prias. :)

Thanks for your speedy response to my question, my rig is 2012

Since it's a 2012, the numbers might be a little different from those at the link for the 2013. Even a 2013 could be different, depending on exactly how it's equipped.

Your rig will have its specific numbers (GVWR and GCWR) on the ID plate on the driver's door. Best approach is to take a look at those to get the exact place to start.

2013 Chevrolet Spark with the manual transmission. Seats four and a 2269 lbs. dry curb weight. Of the new subcompacts only the Smart Car and Scion iQ are lighter.

Fiat 500 weighs 2363 lbs. and it is hard to get into the back seat. Scion iQ weighs 2127 lbs. but is not flat towable due to its CVT transmission. Smart Car only seats two.

The Toyota Yaris weighs 2295 lbs. but it is significantly more expensive.

Just started towing my wife's 2007 Honda Fit - automatic. it is in the 2400# range
Hardly know it's back there.
