alot of times the tow rating has almost nothing to do with power/torque and alot more to do with braking capacity and tire rating. I would not be towing a boat that size with that car. Its dangerous and dumb imo.

The part I find funny is he removed his back bumper to have clearance for a hitch. Seems like an awful lot of trouble to get the boat to the water IMO. But being that I enjoy the water as well, I can kinda understand

and the rear suspension. im guessing he has some form of aftermarket suspension, theres no way in hell the stock shocks could handle that.

Who are we kidding. No one on TR would be caught DEAD on that boat. It's not primered up, or even have the obligitory mis matching rims.
