Question about hauling with your Mustang.?

[Stangcrazygirl]

Ok, I used to go fishing and camping A LOT when I was growing up and since I got into my mid 20's it has all pretty much went away because my husband does not like fishing/camping or boating ect..
I have decided I am going to save up for a small 2 person boat with a little trailer and yes I want to be able to pull it with my Mustang.

Can it be done? How much will my car be able to haul? I will be going alone of course so what do you recommend? ( that is if you fish or have a boat? )

Thanks everyone!

The hidden hitch, I like it! Thanks! Yes I know we may get flamed but I don't care... my car is not a drag racer so I am not worried about weight really.
Is there a website that tells how much the car can tow? I have been searching but I can't find anything yet.........

Well that trailer hitch you posted says 2000 pounds... is that it?

I would say that's plenty considering it's a unibody car

I think I may just rent a boat............ OR rent a spot on someone else's boat. lol...

I already posted a ad and got a few responses. I just hope I don't get killed and used for fishing bait going out fishing with total strangers.

At this point in life..... I am getting were I don't really care anymore I am just SO tired of living such a dull boring ass life day in and day out!

Mustangs are rated (by Ford) to tow 1,000 lbs. And, most states have laws requiring trailer brakes once a trailer weighs more than 1,000 lbs. Therefor, you're gonna have to keep it very light if you want to tow with your Mustang.

Agreed. I've read the same info.

So, If I am looking at a boat its going to be a plastic paddle boat! lol...

Those are fun though....

Well.. I am just being honest. I work behind a desk alone 8 hours a day 5 days a week. I go home I tend to my animals, I sit in front of the computer for a little bit or watch tv, then go to bed. Wake up and do it all over again (but insert cook lunch and dinner for myself) ect.. and wash my car a few times a week. THAT IS ALL I EVER DO. I HAVE NO LIFE.

just being honest........... :/

A friend of mine has a lowered Bullitt and a receiver hitch, it's the smaller one, and he tows his bike trailer with it back and forth between AZ and Ohio.

Hard to see in the pic but you can see the safety chain hooks under the plate-

I had a friend of mine who used to tow a small fiberglass style trailer filled with drag radials, his luggage, a jack, and a small toolbox. He was using a 2003 Mach I with an automatic. Worked just fine.

when i went to the auto x last week, guys had porsxhes with trailer hitches on them. they all had custom trailers that held 4 wheels with r comps and a tool box with all the necessary equipment for the race. looking at one, i would say they were hauling 500 lbs with no problems. you should see about getting a hitch that you can hide behind your license plate.
