The Mitsubishi Outlander CAN Tow
The Mitsubishi Outlander may be a compact SUV, but it's big on capability and hauling abilities. The tow capacity for the 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander can reach up to a maximum 3,500 lbs. when you get the GT 3.0 S-AWC trim. The rest of the configurations are rated for 1,500 lbs. If you're in possession of an older model or want to get a used Mitsubishi Outlander for sale, the numbers vary year by year.

Mitsubishi Outlander Towing Capacity Through the Years | |
|---|---|
| Year | Max. Towing Capacity |
| 2003-2006 | 1,500 lbs. |
| 2007-present | 3,500 lbs. |
You'll notice that, starting in 2007 and continuing to the present day, the maximum Mitsubishi Outlander towing capacity is 3,500 lbs when properly equipped. That's because 2007 was when the performance-minded GT trim was introduced. Other trims and configurations throughout the years will only be rated between 1,500 lbs. and 2,000 lbs. (again, when properly equipped).
If you own an older model, always check the owner's manual to get an accurate number for what your vehicle is rated to tow. If you no longer have access to it, give us a call, and we can find the information for you.
FAQs
Can you tow with a Mitsubishi Outlander?

Can a Mitsubishi Outlander tow a horse float?
A horse float, also known as a horse trailer, will likely weigh anywhere between 2,300 and 4,000 lbs. when empty. Since most models of the Mitsubishi Outlander can tow up to 3,500 lbs. this should be no issue. However, with horses included, that number could far exceed even the 7,000-lb. mark. So, make sure you know how heavy your trailer and horses are together before towing. If it's above what your model is rated for, don't tow it.
Can a Mitsubishi Outlander be flat towed?
You may have also heard flat towing referred to as "four-down towing." This is when you attach a tow bar to a vehicle and tow it behind a camper along the road.
