How much weight can a Chevy cavalier tow with 2.2 engine?

The towing capacity of a Chevy Cavalier with a 2.2L engine depends heavily on the year of the vehicle. Chevrolet didn't publish a specific towing capacity for the Cavalier because it wasn't designed for significant towing. The 2.2L engine was simply not powerful enough for safe towing of anything more than a very small, lightweight trailer.

In short: You should not rely on a Chevy Cavalier with a 2.2L engine for any significant towing. Attempting to tow anything beyond a very light load (like a small utility trailer with minimal weight) could be dangerous, damaging to the vehicle, and illegal depending on your location. Consult your owner's manual for the specific year and model of your Cavalier for any manufacturer-specified towing guidelines (though it's unlikely to list a significant capacity).
