I want to tow my quad around but since I sold my jeep I have nothing to tow it with. Will the Mustang be able to handle the load? My main concern is the transmission (auto). The trailer and quad don't weigh much. I was thinking for the price of getting a trailer hitch installed in the Stang I could probably buy an old Ranger or S-10 and just use that. Yes, that's what I'll do. Thanks so much for your help. Merry Christmas.
 
I pulled a jet ski and trailer around with my Stang in the summer time.. It did fine!
It gets a little tricky when you try to pull out of the boat ramp...but I guess thats to be expected.

They can put a low weight reese hitch on nearly any car!
 
What's a low-rate Reese hitch please? Yeah I can imagine getting up a slippery boat ramp would be tricky! Here in Rhode Island I've seen quite a few people using tow trucks to get their whips out of Narragansett Bay. How much did it cost to get one of those hitches thrown on?
 
I saw a Corvette pulling a pair of Jet Skis and launching them into a local river. Was odd ... but he certainly had enough torque to carry them around. :)

He said it's one of the best cars he has ever used to tow something because of the low center of gravity.

If you can help it ... please don't put a hitch on your car (use a truck)... and don't put 7.5'' wheels on there if you plan to take it through mud, either. :D
 
they make stealth hitches for stangs, only thing I ould suggest is bigger brakes, dont know about you but I dont exactly stop on a dime with the stock brakes without a load.
