1999 Pontiac Bonneville towing capacity
The 1999 Pontiac Bonneville is published in one configuration with a tow rating of 1,000 lb (very light towing only).
The table below lists every trim of the 1999 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SE Sedan 4D | V6, 3.8 Liter | 205 | 230 | — | 1,000 | — | 3,446 | — |
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 1998
The 1998 Pontiac Bonneville carried a maximum tow rating of 1,000 lb. The 1999 model carries the same headline figure — manufacturers usually leave the rating alone year-over-year unless there's a powertrain or hitch change.
