I have one on the Taurus GL, and hate it, but IÔÇÖm too lazy to remove it. Only used the hitch once. The car is rated to tow ~1200pds, loaded up a U-hall trailer (1300+ by itself) with a jet-ski on its own trailer (Yes, we needed a trailer to tow the trailer - no registration/tags for it :roll: ) + tons of other stuff. Car handled it pretty well. Be careful backing down steep driveways - you will get chunks of pavement stuck in the end of the hitch :x .

I think the car would bottom out before the hitch hit anything. Smile

Ryan, beer cooler is in the back seat, no way I'm pulling over every time I run out!

Your a civilized redneck, you actually did a clean, good install. A true red-blooded redneck would have used ducktape and fishing wire.

hitch was 100 and the trailer kit was 160, after diamond plate it's probably going to run me about 500 lol

You're my hero!

thats some good shizzle Chad. Now you just need some 22's and an airbag suspension for the trailer and you'll be good to go

chad, how much does the hitch itself weigh? i remember you saying it is a bolt-on affair?

yes, it is a PAIN IN THE ASS bolt in. It weights about 10-15lbs. I will be leaving in on the car until I am ready to throw it in the garbage.

10-15lbs, certainly doable... wonder if the hachi can tow a jetski Smile

- Dave - 09-28-2004

you need torque to be able to tow stuff Mike.

- Mike - 09-28-2004
