Don't know the answer to that.

I would suggest you check with a dealership and get the straight scoop on what your vehicle will handle. How your car is equipped will probably have a lot to do with what it's capable of.

They will also be able to tell you what kind of hitch, if any, to use and how to attach it.

Plumb stock Prairie 360 cept for the winch, snowplow headlights, hard boxes, alarm system, snowplow and bucket mounts, trailer hitch, sprayer wiring, cow prod bumper, horn and extra tail/brake lights. Survival gear, fence fixing equipment, spare fuel and water racks, GPS, CB, fender bags, rifle boot, chain saw rack, rope rack and tire chains.

I don't see any reason why not. Cars of that size range are usually rated to tow a small load - maybe 1,500 to 2,000 pounds total depending on what engine you have. Most use a 1" reciever hitch. A Raptor on a single axle trailer should only weigh 6600 to 700 pounds, even a 4-cyl could pull that. If you have an owners manual it will have towing specs in it or youcould just call Toyota.

As long as you don't try to tow that 6,600 pound Raptor that I typo'd in my first reply, that V-6 will pull it OK.

Small trailers don't have brakes so plan for longer stopping distance. Ho yeah, sucky gas milage too.

The 1992 through 1996 Camry were pretty much the same through the model run of stated years.

The towing capacity of your Camry is 2000 pounds going by the owners manual of our 1996 Camry Station wagon which has the 4 cylinder, 2.2 engine. The tongue weight which is 200 pounds. The owners manual is generic for all models of that year Camry and states no difference in the V6 or 4 cylinder model.

With the correct hitch welded on for your year Camry and pulling a small trailer you should have no problem pulling your Raptor.
