Mine can. Post up your car doing work.

Hardparkers go away. Post your vehicles actually towing something. Include weight for reference.




Total hauled weight around 1300 lbs, rough guess. Including trailer, gas, gf lol.

My SOHC already has a hard time moving my fat *** I couldn't imagine towing/hauling something heavy

I have a d16y7 in there, I/h/e. Nothing else.

I towed the ski almost 1.5 hours, dropped it off at the ramps, picked it back up at the end of the day and drove back home another 1.5. Ski was full of gas ~15 gallons on the way back because I didn't ride as much.
The car handled it nicely, drove ~70-75 mph all the way, oh yeah I am lowered lol

Even on a B20 I would be doubtful of pulling 2 skis, maybe 2 older skis, maybe.

My lil 1.6l handles the single ski just fine, thank god, I was all smiles pretty much all day.

All I got in there is the stock d16y7, I/h/e. This weekend i had the ski, full tank of gas in car and ski, 4 passengers in car and a cooler full of food and beers.

My ski is around 800ish dry, wet close to 9xx lbs.
