What is the Towing capacity for a 1986 Chevy Celebrity?

Answer 1

Previous answer: Properly equipped, wouldn't recommend any heavier than 1000 lbs

Edit:

I don't' know the rated capacity but back in the day my family towed a camper identical to this round trip 600 miles every summer, mostly highway driving, some Pennsylvania "mountains":

Total estimated towed weight was about 2300 lbs not counting about 800 lbs passengers and cargo in the car. 1990 lbs (empty camper, source above).

We towed w/ a 1984 & later a 1987 Celebrity, both station wagons & both had the 2.8L V6 engine, we added Class 3 hitch, lighting wiring & trailer braking system. The 1987's rear springs were upgraded to heavy duty, they helped dramatically. The only problem we ever had was overheating once on the PA Turnpike on a 100° day.
