Can a Suzuki Jimny Tow a Metalian Trailer?
This is a question we get asked quite often, so we thought it was time to answer those who want to know.
Yes — a Suzuki Jimny can tow a Metalian trailer. However, choosing the right model is important. Because the Jimny is a compact 4x4, a lightweight and compact trailer is generally the best match.
The Metalian Genie was specifically designed with smaller towing vehicles in mind and is a great companion for Suzuki Jimny owners!
Why the Metalian Genie Works Well with a Jimny
The Genie is Metalian's smallest and lightest off-road camper trailer. Its tare weight is approximately 450–500 kg, depending on the final specification and tent, while its GVM is under 750 kg (yes, that's even with all the accessories added).
Despite its compact size, the Genie can be equipped with practical camping features including a rooftop tent, 60-litre fridge, 85-litre water tank, kitchen equipment, storage drawers and electrical systems.
It's a great option for campers and overlanders who are looking for a lightweight camping trailer for a Suzuki Jimny without giving up the ability to enjoy proper off-road adventures.
So, What About the Other Metalian Trailers?
Our larger models — the Bowhunter, Parthian and Maxi — have higher GVMs and are therefore not automatically suitable for every small 4x4. Your vehicle's rated towing capacity, the trailer's loaded weight and the relevant licensing requirements all need to be considered before choosing a trailer.
We always like to remind customers that they can tow the Genie with a standard Code B license.
For Jimny owners specifically, we think that the Genie is a natural starting point when looking for a Jimny-compatible off-road trailer.
The Gist of It
If you're asking, “Can a Suzuki Jimny tow a Metalian trailer?”, the answer is yes — the Metalian Genie is specifically designed as a lightweight, compact option for vehicles such as the Jimny.
Just remember to always check your specific Jimny's manufacturer-rated towing capacity and ensure that the trailer's loaded weight and GVM.
