2005+ GT Trailer Hitch?

stangboy999 · Sep 26, 2007

Can you put a trailer hitch on a 05'-08' GT? I want to get back into a Mustang but I also need to tow a Jet Ski. I've been looking around and most hitches I see say "Does not fit GT"

You will need a high gear ratio to tow a jetski and only a jetski or lighter. A five speed or auto and low acceleration off the line (stop sign or light) as well. You will run into problems if you are an aggressive driver. I would sport a chubby if I saw a 05-07 GT towing a supercharged Seadoo driving down the road!

I have bought from here. Real good to deal with and both say for the GT. Post both the '05 and '07 but they look to be the same.

I got a hitch put on mine, because I have a bike rack that fits into the receiver. To install the hitch, you need to drop your exhaust, and there is drilling involved.

Dear God........ pleas find a cheap truck to use.

Wow. A hitch on a Mustang.

AlloyGT · Oct 1, 2007

Wow, being able to take my bikes with me in a car that I love to drive. It's not like I welded a rack to the trunk. There's a tiny 1 1/4 inch square below the bumper. And I found a cover for it, anyways

And here's two of my bikes:

Save your mustang from Towing Duty!!

Thats what ford made the Lightnings for !!

I wondered how long it would take people to start moaning at this thread. While I would never have a hitch on my Mustang, I also understand that these cars are not cheap and should be able to haul what you need. I've seen several custom trailers towed to car shows and left right on the car in the show. The Shaker 1000 sub and amp box takes up so much of my trunk that luggage space is extremely limited, especially if your girlfriend packs the way most of mine have.

lets kep this thread on topic. some may not like the hitch, but that has nothing to do with this thread. the OP asked for solutions, not opinions.

Bicycles do not belong on sports cars...

In Dallas I saw someone in a 911 turbo with a bike rack on the roof... I almost cried. If you can buy that car you can afford to carry your bikes around in something else...

Well, that's an interesting theory you have there.

drawtite versus hidden hitches

Has anyopne found any comparison threads between the drawtite hitch and the hidden hitch? http://www.etrailer.com/hitch-2005_Ford_Mustang.htm

I have researched it but can't find any.

I don't mean to sound facetious, but what is there to compare?

stangboy999 · Nov 2, 2007

anyone got pictures? Trying to get an idea of how it will look.
