The table below lists every trim of the 1991 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser with the engine, drivetrain, axle ratio, horsepower, torque, GVWR, curb weight, and payload that go with that trim's headline tow rating. Manufacturers often publish more than one tow figure per truck — a conventional bumper-hitch rating, a weight-distributing rating, and a gooseneck or fifth-wheel rating — so the highest number here is the maximum across all hitch classes the source carries for the trim.

How to interpret the headline tow figure

Tow ratings at this level are normally achievable with a conventional Class II or Class III receiver hitch. Always verify your vehicle has the manufacturer's tow package installed if you intend to tow at the upper end of the rating, and inspect the door-jamb sticker for the actual maximum permitted on your specific configuration.

  • On vehicles with antilock brake system, the only trailer braking systems that can be used are those that do not require tapping into the vehicle's brake-fluid system. Towing not recommended for Cutlass Calais with 2.5 I-4 or Cutlass Calais and Cutlass Supreme with 2.3 I-4 HO Quad-4 engine.

All figures sourced from manufacturer documentation. See our methodology for how the dataset is compiled. Always confirm against your vehicle's door-jamb sticker before towing.
