Bizarre question
 

Hi all

This is going to sound quite bizarre but do any of you know if you can fit a tow ball to a Boxster? If so, how, since the exhaust is in the centre?
Cheers

Yes. Here is the link.

Superb. Thank you very much. It is much appreciated. Now i just have to decide on a boat!

Tow a boat!!! :eek: Maybe a Laser or a sailboard! :p

Even a Laser and all the equipment would seem like a lot...

Willwood System has a hitch and the same receivers work for Will's bike and luggage carriers too.

I used to tow quite a bit, including a 26 ft Sundancer @ 6500 lbs behind a Mercury Mountaineer which I thought was pushing it. I wish you the best of luck but think the Boxster will suffer greatly towing anything, it's just not designed for that in any regard.

I read a alot about this a while back. In my opinion th ebest design is this one:

I have seen people towing two jet skis with a Boxster, but most people tow a trailer with autocross gear. The weight of the trailer is not the problem, its the tongue weight you need to worry about. :cheers:

That's only partially true, sure the tongue weight is very important in it's reaction with the suspension, I had to put air shocks on the truck to compensate for how soft a Mountaineer is sprung. However, where I disagree with you is in negotiating hills, you will feel the entire towing weight going up or down.

I agree, you will definitely feel it, but if your trailer is less than 1000 lbs. you shouldn't have a problem. YIt depends on the trailer's weight, but if the trailer is light it would be no different than having a passenger and both trucks completely full.

Thanks for replies guys. It would only be a small boat and more likely a jetski. Do you think this would still be a problem?

I doubt you will have a problem with a small boat or jetski. If it is mostly flat and you aren't driving up a mountain you should be fine. Post a picture when you do it. :cheers:

Will do.

Thanks again to one and all! :cheers:
