I have an Acura TL Type S .. and I've been searching through the forums and saw some of you guys tow jet skis, motorcycles, even some ski boats.

I wanted to know your opinoins on towing a 2600 pound car (200 pound trailer)

It would be all highway driving. I know there are concerns about breaks and tranny, but I saw a few of you have had no problems at all ?

 

lol well thats why u have the Type S for Super duper towing capabilities.

 

I thought the limit is 1000 lbs? If I were you, I wouldn't do it.

 

I towed this


and this



Many times with 0 issue. Both are over 2000lbs ^ Above pic usually on bigger trailer and with large plow on

 

The good thing with towing the car on a dolly is that there will be almost Zero tongue weight. Depending on how far your going to travel and where you rent it would be the big deciding factors. Many places wont let you rent the dolly to tow nay thing unless you have a more than capable vehicle to tow it with. (u haul wouldnt let me use my V6 extended cab S10 to dolly a prelude, said it wasnt capable even though chevy had something like a 5-6k capacity for it)

also if the trip were short or long. I wouldnt be concerned about a short trip, but if it were like 1-200+ miles then id say find a better vehicle

 

yea we are talking 250 miles .. all highway

 

i decided just to wait and have my father tow it with his jeep

 

Addition of a transmission cooler will definitley help here.

 

Nice boat!

 

Thanks

 

Damn, nice towing toys!! I am scared to tow anything with my car. Already on my 2nd tranny...I baby the heck out of my car's tranny for fear of getting a 3rd tranny..sigh. At least your car is holding up well!!

 

Love the sportster! Someday I'll have a Wakesetter if it kills me.
