450kg - Braked
350kg - Unbraked

Some websites/info say that the Jimny can tow 1300kg (Braked) but this is not the case (not legally anyway). I'm sure in low range the Jimny will be fine for pulling 1000kg+ caravans off a muddy field but I can't imagine it would be that much fun to tow that weight on a motorway.
