How we matched these to your CX-5
Every caravan below is checked against the strongest CX-5 variant (2,000 kg braked). We compare the caravan's real ATM and ball weight to your limits using the exact same rules as our full tow calculator — no ratings, no opinions, just the weight maths.
- Comfortable match — the van sits safely inside your towing limit with room for payload.
- Close to the limit — legal, but within 10% of your capacity or ball-weight limit. Watch how you load it.
Some CX-5 variants tow as little as 1,800 kg. Where a heavier van needs a stronger variant, the card says so.

Always check your compliance plate
These figures use factory-standard specs. A bullbar, long-range tank, or suspension changes can move your real limits. The metal plate on your CX-5's door pillar is the number that counts — and towing capacity means nothing if you blow the GCM once the family and gear are aboard. Weigh your rig loaded.
