towing question...

I have not used a car to tow stuff before but I need to tow a load approximately about 800 lbs. Can someone please confirm if the tow rating is 1500 lbs? How can I attach a tow hitch to the rear? Thanks a lot.

You're questioning the towing capacity of the car and you're looking for confirmation from an internet bulletin board? If I were you I'd call you dealer's service department directly to find out what the capacity is. I'd also ask them for written proof of what the capacity is in case anything goes wrong.....

I think you're right.. now that I think about it i remember seeing it in there too.

If that's the case then there's your clarification and it's in writing.. so you're covered!!

You sir are nuts. You must not have any steep ramps to pull out of or any big hills to stop on.

BTW, you have good taste, I have an MC also
