What's up, team!

So, I need to move unexpectedly from Southern California to Miami. I will be driving my 2015 Sport 2.0.

I have been looking up tow capacities and I am getting conflicting information so, I would greatly appreciate some straight answers:

1) Is my towing capacity 1,000 / 1,500 / 2,000?
2) How do I know if my car has the engine oil cooler installed (bought second hand last year)
3) Which wiring setup/tow kit works best with my trim.

A little background: Ideally, I would find a small motorcycle trailer to haul my bike (weighs ~450lbs) the entire trip with myself (weigh 150), my dog (weighs 65lbs) and two adults (their total weight 300lbs). Not anticipating to haul many personal belongings other than some clothes, etc.

I have about 5 weeks to prepare for this trip and I want to get ahead of installs/supplies.

Any and all advice would be incredible.

Thank you all for the support!

Just checked the Build Sheet. No CVT :(

It does state, however, that I have Solar Control Glass (and I do not lol)
Ok, yeah if it says 6 speed automatic then you don't have the CVT.

Thanks for the update.
