Q: What can I tow with a 5000lb capacity hitch on a Model S?

The 5000lb rating covers typical trailers, small boats, bike and cargo carriers, and light utility loads. The kit was designed with FEA analysis followed by real-world validation to be immensely strong at half the weight, so the capacity is engineered rather than optimistic. Always stay within your vehicle’s own towing and tongue-weight limits and load within the 5000lb figure, and the hitch is built to handle it silently.
