Jeep Patriot MK Sport 2009 says it can only tow 150 kg unbraked, that's with a google search. Also looking on car sales the reason I am asking is I'm looking for a car to tow my jetski and like the look of the jeep. Looking at spending a max of 15k.
In your subject you asked for the 'KK' model towing so thats what i searched. From all accounts it looks like the max braked towing for the 'MK' is 1500kgs
I have aver read all the above comments and still keep coming up with the following.
2010 Jeep Patriot Mk Sport
MY2010 Constantly Variable Transmision
Towing Braked 1500
Towing not braked 150
these cars seems to be cheap, I guess not being able to tow much not braked would suggest why. How much would I need to spend on a used Jeep to go on hard sand towing. Jetski.
Check with your dealer, I suspect it's a typo, or otherwise it's telling you the maximum tongue loading on the hitch. If it can tow 1500kg braked then it can definitely tow more than 150kg unbraked.
And by the way, you don't need AWD for that beach!!
if u dont want to spend coin chase up a cheap hilux, ranger or rodeo's are going cheap, maybe a ex mining fleet 4x4, jetskis weigh nothing so dont worry about towing restrictions.

The vehicles match in terms
The vehicles match in terms of their braked towing capacity: 2270kg with a weight distributing hitch.
Maximum tongue weights are listed at 160/227kg depending on hitch type
Read what others are telling you.
