I know companies lie, I was just wondering if anyone had any real experience in towing. Thanks for your reply. Ed
Doh! You are right. Just add the tongue weight to your GVWR numbers. Sorry, brain fade. A Teardrop may still be possible then. General rule of thumb is to pull a trailer that does not exceed the weight of your tow vehicle. I have no personal towing experience in a Boxster.
