Towing Specifications
The Ford Capri offers towing functionality suitable for lightweight trailers or carriers. Precise towing limits (braked and unbraked) and maximum vertical load can vary based on engine and model year. Check the vehicle handbook or VIN plate for exact towing limits before towbar installation or use.
Trailer Electrics Compatibility
Proper trailer lighting is essential when towing with the Capri. The electrical system must support indicators, brake lights, and rear fog lights on the trailer or accessory. Integration is typically straightforward but always ensure all trailer lights operate correctly. Some modern towbars may require vehicle coding or activation for lighting functions on newer platforms.
