9000 as a tow vehicle Posted by skibumm100 [Email] (#3255) [Profile/Gallery] (more from skibumm100) on Tue, 5 Jul 2011 06:48:06 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I welded up a hitch for my 9000 Aero 5-spd last weekend and towed a 14 foot aluminum boat loaded with camping stuff about 45 minutes up the road from my house for the holiday weekend. I usually take the truck but I broke it in half (rotten). The car towed the load pretty well. The hitch attachment is pretty sturdy. The wiring couldn't be easier. Flat-4 plug on my boat. I got one of the Hoppy 5-wire to 4-wire, unpowered converters for $20 at Wal Mart. I put male spade terminals on the wires and pushed them into the trailer light socket behind the DS tailight. Voila! Instant trailer lights! I wouldn't hesitate to tow something light with a 5-spd car but an Auto trans might not like it much.
