Hey all:
So, I was looking at building a trailer hitch for my boxster, to tow a tiny little trailer with track wheels, folding canopy, etc.

When I pulled the license plate to have a look, I noticed that the threaded receiver for the tow hook is found dead- center in the bumper.... which begs the question:

How strong is that anchor point?
What if I built a simple attachment that threads in, just like the anchor point, with a trailer ball on it? Would that tow a 400lb load (gross- weight) down the road to the race track?
I mean... that's sure the "easy button". (As opposed to me tearing the bumper off and fabricating something more substantial, as I had intended)

Waddya know?
