If you’re searching for a powerful, practical SUV that can handle serious towing demands, the KGM Rexton is one of the strongest options. Whether you’re towing a caravan for weekends away, a horsebox, or even a plant trailer for work, the Rexton has been built with capability in mind.
In this guide, we’ll break down exactly how much a KGM Rexton can tow, what it’s suited for, and why it’s such a popular choice for heavy‑duty use.
The KGM Rexton towing capacity is:
Braked towing capacity: 3.5 tonnes (3,500kg)
Unbraked towing capacity: 750kg
This puts it right at the top of the SUV market, matching many premium 4x4s for pulling power.
In real terms, a 3.5‑tonne towing capacity means the Rexton can handle some of the heaviest loads you’d realistically tow in the UK.
With a towing limit of 3,500kg, the KGM Rexton is ideal for:
Large caravans
Double horseboxes
Boats and trailers
Commercial trailers
Plant trailers (including mini diggers and equipment)
Ideal for those wishing to tow a double horsebox, large caravan, or commercial trailer, the Rexton has a strong ladder chassis providing a substantial towing platform — making it a reliable choice for both leisure and business use.
For customers in construction or agriculture, this makes it a practical alternative to a pick‑up for transporting smaller machinery and equipment.
The Rexton isn’t just about raw towing figures, it’s designed from the ground up to handle heavy loads safely and comfortably.
Unlike many SUVs, the Rexton uses a body-on-frame (ladder chassis) design, giving it the strength and stability needed for frequent towing.
The 2.2‑litre diesel engine delivers strong torque (ideal for pulling away with weight and towing uphill).
With selectable four-wheel drive, the Rexton remains stable across:
Wet roads
Muddy sites
Fields and uneven ground
This is particularly useful for towing in rural or off-road environments.
The KGM Rexton also includes a range of tech designed specifically for safer towing:
Trailer Sway Control (TSC)
Detects and automatically stabilises trailer movement, helping prevent dangerous swaying while towing.
360° Around View Camera
Makes it easier to line up a trailer and manoeuvre in tight spaces.
Strong kerb weight (approx. 2,180kg)
Provides better stability when towing heavier loads.
