Electric vans like the Peugeot E-Boxer aren't know for their towing capacity, that's because most of the early models couldn't tow anything at all.
But, you're here to find out what is the Peugeot E-Boxer towing capacity, and there's some good news. It's pretty decent when compared with other large electric vans.
We'll tell you the important facts about the E-Boxer towing capacity as well as trailer towing, tow bars and even what to do in the even that your E-Boxer breaks down and needs to be towed.
The Peugeto E-Boxer towing capacity is a maximum of 2400kg for a braked trailer. For an unbraked trailer, the E-Boxer has a capacity of just 750kg.

That's all there is to know about the maximum towing weights for the electric e-Ducato van because there's just one rating for all models. Even though there are many different versions, sizes and GVWs for the Peugeot E-Boxer, the towing weight remains the same.
E-Boxer electric vans can tow trailers up to the permitted towinc capacity maximum.
The figures outlined above are for the total overall weight of what is being towed, so that includes the weight of whatever trailer you are pulling.
If your trailer weights 250kg and is unbraked then you have 500kg of payload that you are able to load onto the trailer and tow.
The Peugeot E-Boxer has a maximum gross train weight of 5500kg.
That's 5.5 tonnes which is the same for all models from the 3.5 to 4.25 tonne GVW vans.
The gross train weight is the total weight of the E-Boxer, its payload and trailer.
No, there's no tow bar as part of the base level equipment on the van, but you can specify one.
Expect to pay in the region of £500 for the towing bar on an E-Boxer.
Towing the E-Boxer isn't as simple as hooking it up to another vehicle and pulling it along. The electric motors will break if they are dragged against their will.
In order to successfully tow the Peugeot E-Boxer you need to raise the front wheels (where the motor is powering the wheels) and tow it only on the rear axle.
This will ensure that the motor isn't damaged and that the van can be recovered with the need for the entire thing to be lifted off the ground with a hoist.
It is not possible to winch or attempt a self recovery of an E-Boxer. If you do you will probably damage the electric motors.
Instead, call a professional recovery firm and have them lift either the entire vehicle or the front axle.
