I have an '03, 9^5 Aero wagon w/manual transmision. I use it to tow a small sailboat that is only around 1200 Lbs total trailing weight but it does have a huge wind resistance factor; the boat is much higher and wider than car. I do a lot of high-way towing and it is amazing how well this car pulls it.
The car is said to be "pre-wired" but that is only if you rip apart A LOT of your car's interior and buy the 4x too expensive factory wiring harness. I bought a Reese "modulite" wiring systems for $22. I then easily tapped a set of wires in the trunk area to run it and saved a huge amount of money and frustration. I have done an install for the factory wiring unit myself and it was not fun or cheap!
