What Can You Tow With 1,500 Pounds?

Now that you know the new Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross towing capacity goes up to 1,500 pounds when properly equipped, you might be wondering, "What does 1,500 pounds equate to?"

Well, let's look at some common equipment you can pull when your Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is equipped with the dealer-installed tow package, using specific products to approximate average weights:

  • Small Pop-Up Camper: 800 pounds
  • ATV: 600 pounds
  • Personal watercraft: 700 pounds
  • Snowmobile: 500 pounds

When you're towing, the total pulled weight cannot exceed your vehicle's towing capacity. For example, if you plan to tow a small pop-up camper that weighs 800 pounds, you must subtract 800 from 1,500 to see how much your camper can carry. In this case, you'll have 700 pounds of towing capacity left for your gear and trailering equipment.

If you tow a 700-pound personal watercraft with your new Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross towing ability, subtract 700 from 1,500 to get 800 pounds – the combined weight of your towing gear and any life vests, sunscreen bottles, and extra gas cans you want to ring cannot exceed this number.

What Is Towing Capacity?

A vehicle's towing capacity is the weight the vehicle can safely pull behind it, including the weight of the trailer. The towing capacity is based on the vehicle's powertrain, suspension system, frame, and braking ability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross tow a caravan?

The 2025 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross has a towing capacity of 1,500 pounds when properly equipped and can tow a small pop-up camper, personal watercraft, ATV, or snowmobile that weighs less than this maximum capacity. Before towing, consult the towing guides for your vehicle and the item you intend to tow. Additional cargo weight inside your vehicle may reduce the maximum towing capacity.

Can you flat-tow a Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross?

You can flat-tow an older Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross equipped with a five-speed manual transmission. The current trims for the 2025 model year are equipped with an eight-speed CVT with Sport Mode and cannot be flat- or dinghy-towed behind an RV, motorhome, or heavy-duty truck. A vehicle typically requires a manual gearbox and four-wheel drive to be flat-towed.
