Hello,

Girlfriend has a 2000 V-6 convertible with approximately 120k. We are interested in purchasing a used boat (we know we both need our heads examined ), and need to know the towing capabilities of the Mustang. Out of the 4 vehicles owned between us the Mustang is our only tow car choice as the others are either to dangerous to tow with, or are impossible to install a hitch on.

We are currently looking at a 19 foot inboard run a bout or bow rider, and would like to have some opinions as to the capabilities or fiesability of towing this size boat with the Mustang....as to is a 19 foot to much weight for the tranmission or drive train. Current usuage plans only include towing approximately 25 to 50 miles to a boat ramp.

Thank you,

Nic

towing

I tow a enclosed utility/construction trailer daily with mine. I sometimes carry some heavy loads and the mustang does fine. It is a 5 speed though which helps.
You can only put a class one hitch on a mustang so that limits your weight carrying capability.
Engine is more than up to it, brakes are fine, auto trany would need a cooler.
Problem might be pulling boat out of water with that light back end. lots of wheel spin
