1994 Pontiac Bonneville towing capacity
The 1994 Pontiac Bonneville is published in 2 configurations with a tow rating of 1,000 lb (very light towing only).
The table below lists every trim of the 1994 Pontiac Bonneville 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.
Per-trim breakdown
| Configuration | Engine | HP | Torque | Axle | Tow (lb) | GVWR | Curb | Payload |

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.
How this year compares to 1993
The 1993 Pontiac Bonneville carried a maximum tow rating of 2,000 lb. The 1994 model is rated 1,000 lb lower — sometimes a real spec change, sometimes a re-test under a stricter standard like SAE J2807. See the 1993 Pontiac Bonneville page for the full per-trim breakdown of the prior year.
