towing

I'm new to this forum, but I've been coming here a lot recently to read other's posts. I finally became an actual member because I've had some questions that I can't seem to find the answer for, maybe you guys can help. I have an ABP 5AT and lately I've been checking out waverunners because I got a pretty big check from the government for financial aid. I've been checking the Hondas to stay true, but my question is with the transportation of said waverunner. It might be a dumb question but do you guys think it would be a smart idea to tow it with the TSX, and if so what will I need and how difficult will it be. Thanx.

That's a good question and it's one that I don't think we ever got an answer to in this thread. I know the TSX has a very low cargo capacity so the tongue weight of the trailer would have to be pretty low.

Wal Mart is the #1 trailer hitch retailer in NA so they'd be your best bet. Chances are if you buy a Draw-Tite or Reese hitch my company probably made a few components for it. So avoid them at all costs.

Actually they make excellent hitches.

since you guys mentioned it, I've always wonder if we can tow like a Folding Camp Trailer to the back of the TSX? Would it be safe?

...reminds me of the commercial for the 1995 Volvo 850 T5-R Wagon - Shows Lamborghini Diablo pulling a small cargo trailer, and they say that this is basically the same

But the question still stands, is it a wise thing to do. Or will I end up screwing up my tranny, and suspension.

It says in the manual what the maximum towing capacity is for the car. Any car can tow something, just some cars can tow more than others.
