Towing trailer and glider with a honda civic

The Australian VTi Honda Civic is rated
Towing capacity (kg)
trailer with brakes 800
trailer without brakes 500
ball down force 50

That said, I don't recommend using a small car to tow even if it seems
to tow reasonably well.
When things go wrong the trailer overwhelms the car.
In the mid 80s I had to avoid an oncoming car whose driver was dozing.
I got down to about 40KPH as the other car approached and then the
trailer began to jackknife then straighten then roll the car.
Trailer and car a write off, glider was ok, other car snuck past and
disappeared, I got a compressed vertebra.

I could not find towing capacity listed as a spec in the Civic's Owner's

or towing and doing so voids the warranty, such as:

The owners manual clearly states that the Honda Civic is not rated for

Go to page 395:

"Your vehicle is not designed to tow a trailer. Attempting to do so can

That said, you can buy tow hitches for the Civic. I recommend
contacting
