Towing Capacity

Add to quote

Generally, can a 6 cylinder Chevy Astro tow up to 5000 pounds? Some ads say that: Chevy Astro can tow 5000 pounds with towing package. What is meant by towing package?

I believe the towing package is just a factory installed hitch w/trailer light hook-up and a tranny cooler. Basic stuff that anyone would do to tow with any vehicle. :mrgreen:

IMO, these things will pull way more than they can stop.

^Definatly have to agree with that. My brakes are very good, but I still think it could stop faster or it just the way they feel when they are coming to a stop? HEAVY! :lol:

Agreed X3!

As a suggestion, do NOT waste your money on factory "towing package". As a suggestion, install your own 3rd party towing upgrade items. To tow above 2,000 lbs, I'd recommend: - Transmisison Aux oil cooler. LPD design that is rated for up to 5,000 lbs. re: http://www.makcotransmissionparts.com/OC-1678.html - Class III/IV Hitch. A Hitch that will accept Weight Distribution System. Hidden Hitch. re: http://www.hiddenhitch.com/fitguides/allsel_a.asp - Ensure trailer has WD system attached (and properly adjusted) as well. re: http://www.huskytow.com/FTP/PDF/P01040_HTCH_Pg14-16.pdf - Timbrens SES units in the rear. re: http://www.timbren.com/ses-van-suv.htm To me, Timbren SES units remove the van's "factory mush" rear suspension. Especially when van is loaded down with rear cargo and/or lots of passengers. I loved the Timbrens SES units - even for normal "soccer parent" driving conditions. - Onboard Electric Brake Controller Husky EXCURSION re: http://www.huskytow.com/FTP/PDF/P02010_ELEC_Pg22-24.pdf - Ensure Trailer has full electric brakes. Factory brakes on van are only rated to "safely stop" an additional 1,200 lbs. Thus, why any connected trailer above 1,500 lbs needs its own brakes. I like full electric brakes the best. - If you do lots of towing, suggest replacing the over soft "P" tires with stiffer sidewall LT tires. Thus, getting much "tigher feeling" around the sharp corners. Especially for heavy trailer / cargo towing. Note: When towing (especially the heavy loads), always use "D" (3rd) gear. And use van's tow/haul feature as well. Thus, allowing higher engines revs - which is less strain on its tranny and rear end. If wondering, I installed the above items in my preivous 2003 Safari van and towed "loaded" 5,000 lbs Travel Trailer. I'd install these same items again. Without hestiation. Hope this helps... .

Thanks, Spike! Good answer.

Another thing to "always" keep in mind that factory V6 4.3L engine with factory transmission and factory 3.43 rear axle does NOT like wind. Doesn't like strong "head wind" and it doesn't like "up hills" And it doesn't like up hills with head wind at the same time. When pulling a trailer, always keep the above in mind a well. A loaded 5,000 lbs utility trailer nicely tucked behind a Safari / Astro van pulls very easy. Very easy compared to a "wind wall" Travel trailer of equal loaded weight. Vision driving down the hiway at 50 mph and holding a sheet of plywood out the sun roof. Flat edge plywood and there's NO wind resistance. Hold the same plywood vertical like a boat's sail and one instantly feels the wind drag. Same "wind wall" resistance added stress holds true when comparing the "towablility feeling / towing stress" of a flat landscape / utility trailer against a Travel Trailer (of equial loaded weight) as well. More towing stress = one's lower "comfortable" towing ability. When adding weight inside the Safari/Astro van, do remember to subtract its loaded weight from Maximum Towing trailer weight as well. More people & more cargo inside the van, less attached "trailer weight" that should be pulled. Yes. Lower rear axle gearing does help reduce towing stress (like using the 373 or 411 gearing - instead of factory 342 gearing) but it also depends on hills, wind drag and one's hiways speeds. Towing within city limits at 30 mph is much easier then towing at 60 mph hiways speeds. Especially when head wind and hills need to be battled at the same time. Hope this helps as well... .

Yeah, I dont tow anything higher than the roof of mine with my stock 3.23 gears, altho it isnt as bad towing as one would think...

Hi Guys, we are shipping our caravan from the UK it weighs 1470kg unladen with a max weight of 1700kg. So i am thinking that one can load 230kg of stuff into it. My question is will my 91 rwd Astro tow this ok, or is it too near the mark ? I have read the posts above and I am Planning to replace the shocks as they are well past their best, Now we do use the van all the time and wanted a heavy duty shock it was suggested that Rancho 5000 were a good bet, anyone else have any more thoughts ? Also a Tranny cooler seems like a good idea, how hard are they to fit ? Thanks Andrew :swerve:

On my 2003 RWD I have the hidden hitch. Prodigy brake controller http://www.tekonsha.com/product/default.asp Equal-i-Zer for sway and WD http://www.equalizerhitch.com/ and Bilstein Gas Pressure Shock Absorbers .... I'm happy with the set up. Now one question about the true LT tires. Their max psi is 80 and on my door sticker my tire psi is supose to be 38 with a max 44 P tire. So would you run the LT at 38 psi?

I know this is an older thread, but having had to research it some for my own vehicle, I feel there is info to contribute. Obviously your towing capacity is related the following two factors: 1. How much your vehicle can pull, accelerate with and go up hills with without burning out the transmission, blowing the motor, tearing up your unibody/frame or jackknifing on turns. 2. How much your vehicle can stop (vehicle, payload and trailer). Unibody, transmissions and motors being equal, number 1 is going to be a function of your gear ratios, your vehicle weight, and your drive type (AWD vs RWD) . The cargo vans from my year could tow 5500 if they were RWD and had 3.73 gears. My AWD passenger van could tow 4600 with it's seats, transfer case and 3.43 gears. Funny thing is when you look at what the base Chevy 4x4 Silverado 1500 work special trucks could tow, it's less than our vans. I looked at getting one a few years ago, but when I finally got an answer as to actual rated towing capacity of the truck I was looking at--remember, those trucks had the same motor and transmission (if they were automatics) as our van...

I'm going to interject my own thoughts here as I have an 03 safari and am towing an 18 ft travel trailer. Basically, the towing package is anything and everything connected to towing. From the trailer hitch on. I have an equalizer hitch, with sway bar. The trailer weight is 4100 pounds and the max is 5100 pounds. Keep in mind that the weight rating includes what else you put in the trailer. So don't get a 5000 pound trailer and add in another 1000 pounds of stuff. I have driven cross country with it now a bit and haven't had to many problems. The bigges has been the fact that the trailer eats up fuel royally. I drop from 24 to 8 mpg. Someone mentioned wind? You got that right. Just the other day coming across New Mexico I was in passing gear mode going downhill even. 40 mph uphill. :driving: Safaris are great vans. They just lack the power to do any serious towing. If you want to tow anything larger than a good size boat, forget it.

Towing is 5K but keep tongue weight in mind. Was just looking at this the other night. 650 lbs tongue weight for a 97 cargo.

OK . for the last 5 years I have towed with my Astro,factory TOW Package, utility trailers with 4,000 US pounds, BUT needed brakes on the trailer. Two years ago I got a Chalet Pop up trailer, weighs 4500 wet, and load the van with a bunch of stuff to goto Mexico. Usually total combined GVW with trailer is 10,500 US pounds. The brakes are a definite plus... Reduce the tongue weight as much as possible and not less than 10-15% your trailer weight. We travel approximately 5,000 miles from Oregon to southern Mexico. The roads are the pits and last year I found the VAN was breaking off from the " Addon frame.". The trailer hitch was too short to reach all nut studs to properly attach the hitch. After returning this year, I weld added 18" to each side of the hitch. You do need all 4 bolts on the bottom of the frame and the 3 going o the bumper assy. The factory tow system includes a transmission shift lock that is a real help on rolling hills and on steep down hills thus reducing some of the need "I said reducing" for braking . Take my word over 77,000 miles of towing and the factory stuff is holding just fine. My milage is around 12 miles and on good freeways, 15-16. Good luck in your towing ventures. :swerve: Chuck

I have a 2002 Astro, 6 cyl. 2wd. I'm looking at this trailer unit, it's probably 18" taller than the roofline. I show dogs, so there's sometimes a fairly good cargo load as well (the rear seats have been pulled). Unloaded Vehicle Weight (lbs) View Definition 2,250 Dry Hitch Weight (lbs) View Definition 215 Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (lbs) View Definition 2,950 Cargo Carrying Capacity (lbs) View Definition 700 http://www.jayco.com/tools/archive/2014 ... slx/145rb/ Any thoughts or recommendations on modifications, or what it's likely to suffer in gas mileage? We do some long hauls over multi-weekend trips, and much of it across the northern plains states.

Bah, never mind. I'll wait until I have a bigger van to think about a travel trailer. I decided to go with a 4' x 6' cargo trailer for my equipment, and free up the van for light camping instead. At about 500lb dry weight, and lower profile than the van roof, it shouldn't be too bad to pull.

Can anyone, with certainty, post the towing capacity for a 1992 Safari AWD? Mine appears to have a factory tow bar but the label has fallen off so, i cannot confirm the rating. Also, how does one determine if the vehicle, in fact, has the "towing package"? Perhaps the VIN may indicate that information?

Even with the towing package, that means nothing more than a tow hitch and tow haul mode which increases line pressure and shift points. Get a real transmission cooler and dial up the line pressure...and boom...you have a towing package. Don't believe what the manual tells you for what they belive tow capacity is. It depends on your tires, your brakes and your terrain. I wouldn't tow 5k up here or over the pass....but I would tow 5k east or west of the divide. It also depends on how the load is balanced on your trailer.....electric brakes....number of axles. ...

Definitely a trans cooler even if you don't tow. I can attest to transmission cooler (Tru-Cool 4490) and increased shift firmness with Jet Programmer (+ line pressure). Even when fully loaded, towing in extremely hot conditions (100°+ temps) my van shifts greats. No lag, delay or slip, just nice positive shifts. Fresh, quality transmission fluid also plays a big part. Since I've finally used up all my Amsoil ATF, the next fluid change is most likely going to be Castrol Dexron VI.

I haven't towed with the new lifted setup. But...I did load the van front to back and threw out a hitch hauler with 400lbs. Can say it is no Silverado HD or 3/4 ton express van..but she held her weight pretty good. The limiting factors are the fact the astro is narrow and short. Plus...torsion bars just suck when it comes to towing heavy loads.

Yes, we certainly can, but it might be better to look it up in the user manual(also available online if you don't have one) and then verify that you have the hitch to match as they are not all created equally. You will also have to look up the gear ratio as well. Without knowing what has been done to the vehicle it would be hard to tell what hitch you have if the label has fallen off. Doesn't matter if the vehicle is rated to pull 10,000lbs if you have a hitch rated at 2,000lbs.

Tow truck service transporting car on highway

Why Would I Need to Be Towed?

Cars need towing when something breaks that makes it impossible to drive. The vehicle may not start, or car tires have deflated.

There may also be trouble with the:

If your battery is low, jump start the car to give the battery enough power to get you to the next location. Sometimes a battery is so dead that it will not start the battery and it requires a tow truck.

What Services Do Car Towing Companies Offer?

Towing company services often provide roadside assistance. If the vehicle does not start because it ran out of gas, a tow truck company will bring gas.

Here are some other services they offer:

Jump-start a battery in a dead car

Unlock the car door

Transport a broken car

Pull out a stuck car

Tire change

Towing Cost Estimator

Before giving you a price, tow truck service companies will factor into towing rates:

How far they must tow the truck

How large of a car is towed

How difficult it is to get the vehicle onto the tow truck (if it’s muddy or on a steep slope)

The time of day

Tow truck companies usually have a minimum charge to cover their business costs such as gas. This minimum rate of about $50 usually includes a towing distance of between 5 to 10 miles.

Size of Vehicle

A standard fee includes a 4-door sedan, but often trucks and large SUVs have an additional charge. Each company varies, so check with the local company for a more accurate estimate. Typically, the extra cost is $10 to $35 .

Time of Day

Another factor to consider in the cost of a tow is the time of day. After-hours towing typically starts at 8 or 9 p.m. and ends between 6 to 8 a.m. Each company’s after-hours service varies.

Some companies’ additional cost is as low as $5.

Others charge up to a $150 one-time fee.

Roadside Assistance Cost

As the name suggests, roadside assistance companies help with all the needs you may have if the car is acting up. They can help with many roadside needs, such as replacing a flat tire and jump-starting a car.

Roadside assistance is also a reliable service for hiring a tow truck. These companies have relationships with local tow truck companies they can refer. Also, some credit card companies and auto manufacturers offer a free towing service for all their customers.

AAA Towing Cost

Membership with a roadside assistance company can range from $52 to $144 per year with nationally known companies such as AAA, AARP, and All-State Motor Club. Most of these service providers will cover the cost of towing the vehicle up to 100 miles.

Roadside Assistance Membership Clubs

Allstate offers a Roadside Advantage plan or a Platinum Elite plan. The cheaper plan maxes out its roadside assistance benefits at $150, whereas the more costly plan ends reimbursement at $250.

The cost for each service can also depend on the region. When checking prices with local companies, be sure to ask about renewal fees for the future. Paying a yearly fee for roadside assistance includes discounts on car rentals, flights, hotel stays, and restaurant meals.

Towing service FAQs

Does my car insurance company cover roadside assistance or towing costs.

A car insurance company may include roadside assistance or towing costs. Each company is different, so you should check with yours and see if this service is available. Many of the large car insurance companies offer this service for an additional price, such as Progressive, USAA, Allstate, and Nationwide.

What if I need to get towed after an accident?

After a car accident, most insurance companies will cover the cost of a car tow within the insurance claim. The services a car insurance company offers after an accident varies with each company and coverage type. If you have questions about specific costs, call your car insurance agent.

How Much Does Towing Cost Per Day?

If you get towed, storage fees at impound lots range from $30 to $80 per day . Based on a city bylaw, you may get charged a quarter of the daily rate per hour for the first four hours your vehicle is impounded.

How Much Does Boat Towing Cost?

The cost to tow a boat is $200 to $500 per hour . A sea-towing membership costs $149 to $249 per year for unlimited towing.

How Much Does a Camper, RV, or Big Rig Cost To Tow?

It's never a good time when you have to enlist the help of a tow service. My hubby and I unfortunately were part of a nearly 20 car pileup on I-70. STL had 50 degree temps one day and then the next, an unexpected snowstorm. Our vehicle struck the rear of an 18 wheeler and our air bags deployed. Thankfully, we weren't injured besides the fact of seeing our life pass by in slow motion and fearing the worst. And again thankfully, a duallie transporting a horse trailer jack knifed into himself to avoid hitting us from the rear. After several hours stranded on 70, a state trooper offered us to warm up in his SUV. Another tow company began retrieving our vehicle with the understanding we'd become his passengers. But guess what? He left us! The trooper was able to get Prime towing to 'tow two passengers' while the other company got our car. My hubby and I ended up in separate tow trucks. Both drivers (Gary and Jeff) were patient, understanding, nice and all around good guys. We rode around with them for about an hour avoiding pileups and backups. They finally dropped us off while we waited for our friend driving to get us. BTW, I think Gary is the owner. If you ever need tow services, and I hope that you don't, please don't hesitate to contact Prime. They live up to their name by offering prime service.

Great experience helped us out when we were stuck in the middle of the night and couldn't get our car dolly unstuck. Highly recommend!!
