I've never seen or heard of a bike being towed but I guess it's possible.
What about a motorcycle?Is it possible to have a bicycle towed by a towing company?
If the towing company get paid to do so, I'm sure they will tow anything, even a bicycle.
Most of the people I know who have worked for towing companies over the years are full of stories about all the odd and unusual things they have been asked to tow for people. Yes, they have towed bicycles, motorcycles, electric wheelchairs and go carts. Basically, if you are willing to pay for it they will transport pretty much anything that they can legally haul.Is it possible to have a bicycle towed by a towing company?
They don't actually TOW it but they'll retrieve it. They put a mc diagonally on the forks and chain it down.
I'm pretty sure they'd tow a motorcycle if they needed to. Somehow someway!Is it possible to have a bicycle towed by a towing company?
how about a truck freight line. UPS, FedEx,train,ship or some similar means.

How do I find towing capacity for my truck ?
I need to know how much stuff my truck will tow by weight.How do I find towing capacity for my truck ?
Since you do not mention the model, year, 2 or 4 wheel drive, engine size and rear axel I can't answer it, but many times Edmonds will have some information.
Actually payload and towing capacity are completely different.
Trucks are actually evaluated for maximum towing capacity, but as I said, the questions that I asked needed answered first.
Check the owners manual, or the tag on the inside of the door.How do I find towing capacity for my truck ?
Look in your owners manual or call a dealership. That info is readily available in both location.
It is in your owners manual. If you don't have a manual contact a dealer who sells the truck his maintenance department will have that info.How do I find towing capacity for my truck ?
Check the owners manual. Note that for towing purposes there's a limit on weight of the trailer plus cargo as well as "tongue weight" (i.e. actually weight pushing down on trailer hitch).
There is really no rating for that in particular. Now there is a "capacity payload" towing rate for your truck. You kind of have to use some sensibility and keep your towing down to a minimum cause any heavy weighted object thats going to be towed will overwork the tranny and cause the fluid to heat up more quickly. Inotice alot of those dually truck guys get an extra tranny fluid cooler added on the truck just for towing purposes. Now if you have a dually truck or a deisel powered truck there probably is a towing rate where the driver door jam is. I hope this helps.
call your local dealer. they can tell you the exact amounts. good luck!
just check the owner manual
there should be a tag on your drivers door that will read MAX GVW or MAX GVW RATING - this is the maximum gross vehicle weight rating - it includes the weight of the truck as well as the payload. it will be the rating to use based on the equipment your truck was built with, your owners manual will cover how to load your truck - ie how much of a load you can put on the rear bumper hitch , and how much payload you can put in the box , and how heavy of a trailer you can pull.

What is the towing capacity for a 94 Chevy Suburban 2500 4wd?
I need to move an old shed that is on a trailer weighing right around 7500lbs. to a new location approx. 800 miles away from California to Washington. There will only be one person in the car with some tools to set up the shed at its new location. Am I nuts for thinking I can tow it with my suburban and is it legal? Is it safe?What is the towing capacity for a 94 Chevy Suburban 2500 4wd?
check your hitch and trailer tires for maximums, maybe, maybe not. Don't forget to add the trailer weight and you better have trailer brakes. Whatever you do, don't use OD. and check all tires before leaving. Dont go over 55 mph...What is the towing capacity for a 94 Chevy Suburban 2500 4wd?
AS FOR THE TOWING CAPACITY I WOULD CONTACT THE DEALER OR CHECK THE OWNERS MANUAL.

What is the towing capacity of a 2004 Toyota Camry Solara SLE V6?
Thinking about getting a boat and wanted to know if my car could tow it? Boat is about 2500 lbs (unsure about weight of trailer). The answer is probably no, but I can't seem to find it anywhere searching on the internet so I thought I'd ask here. Thanks in advance!What is the towing capacity of a 2004 Toyota Camry Solara SLE V6?
I don't think pounds are relevant unless your going a long way...Its more an issue of your boats tounge weight. If you can pick it real easy you can probably pull it with a car..I have a 19ft Bayliner and it has a very heavy tounge weight and wouldn't be good behind a car...But we used to have a 18ft low profile boat that i could easily life the tounge on and would pull just fine behind a car...In other words if you boat is a beast, you need a truck...If its a light performance boat that sits light on the trailer a car can pull it. Distance plays a factor as well, but tounge weight of your boat is the true driving factor....If its to heavy it will mash your bumper to the ground...What is the towing capacity of a 2004 Toyota Camry Solara SLE V6?
look in your owners manual this will tell you how much weight the vehicle is rated at.
You can also go to u-haul and look it up on their website alot of times your owners manual will tell you a different amount.
You have to remember that a golf cart can pull a full sized truck but cant stop it.What is the towing capacity of a 2004 Toyota Camry Solara SLE V6?
You can tow about 1500 pounds with your Solara V6 SLE, so no I wouldn't recommend the boat, you will ruin your car.
I would actually call your local car mechanic to find out if your car could do it.
You know someone you trust with your car repairs.

What is the towing capacity of a Mazda 626?
Can I install a trailer hitch and tow with my 2001 Mazda 626 LX? It is a 4-cylinder, automatic sedan. I want to pull a small trailer with a 400 pound motorcycle.What is the towing capacity of a Mazda 626?
Hitch weight of 100 lbs or less and total trailer with a couple of bikes 1000 pounds should not hurt the 626 however the automatic transmission should have a larger transmission oil cooler. The Ford CD-4E auto transmission will even fail on a car with out towing anything. Remember ft. wheel drive isn't the best thing for towing trailerswindow tint

Can pulling / towing a truck that is in gear damage the truck when 1 wheel is dragging?
Somebody towed my truck 100 feet when it was in gear. They claim it was fine and would not hurt the truck. They were pulling it on dirt. All of the wheels were rotating except for one, which they said was locked. Truck is a 1985 Ford F150 4x4. Truck was not in 4 wheel drive at the time. Could this of caused any damage to my truck?Can pulling / towing a truck that is in gear damage the truck when 1 wheel is dragging?
If your vehicle has a manual trans, it can put stress on the clutch and drive train assembly if left in gear. If an automatic, you run the risk of breaking the shift prawl or internal damage to the transmission. In any event, not a good thing to do, If you have to move a disabled vehicle, be sure it is in neutral with the brake off.Can pulling / towing a truck that is in gear damage the truck when 1 wheel is dragging?
It wasn't locked it was your posi reared that only lets 1 wheel turn in the forward direction with out the drive shaft turning%26gt; So it was rotating backwards%26gt; have to drive and see if it hurt it or not%26gt;
