The current Peugeot 505 can tow up to 1,300 kg braked. Figures below are the strongest variant in each generation — lighter trims and engines tow less.
Unbraked (no trailer brakes): 672 kg.
| Years | Braked | Unbraked |
|---|---|---|
| 1979–1985 | 1,100 | 750 |
| 1985–1990 | 1,300 | 672 |
Towing capacity is the manufacturer-rated maximum for the model's strongest variant in each generation, not an average across trims — a base engine will tow less than the figure shown. Cars with an implausible source-data towing figure relative to their own kerb weight are excluded rather than shown with a guessed correction.
